Barbey’s compositions are then understood as pixelated, and therefore the culmination of a long formal and technical work.The transcription of reality is thus the fruit of a slow search, of a work with meditative accents to truly contemplate what must be translated onto the canvas. The meticulousness exercised during the creation is then opposed in an antinomic way to the fugitive moment which is reproduced, and yet manages to transcribe an indiscernible feeling : accuracy.
