In his large canvases Guillaud leads us to reflect on our behaviour, our way of being and living.
The paintings are sometimes mystical, often satirical, and always deeply philosophical, without however being overly “heavy”.
These are not paintings that tell a story or show something specific, but paintings which stand as a witness to the artist’s time, taking the term “witness” both in the sense of being a spectator and an examiner.

To look at a painting of human illusion is not a matter of a few seconds. The shock effect is often immediate, but it is necessary to go deeper, beyond the image, to discover the true sense of the canvas.
It is up to everyone to make the effort to discover not a message in the mystical sense, but the reflection of a gentleman at the turn of a difficult century.
