| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I decided to become a painter when I discovered that the world of color was "my world", ie the world in which I evolved the most naturally. It was around the age of twenty years. |

| Your Personal Biography |
“ Michel De Caso is the discoverer and theoretician of the artistic concept 'Rectoversion', which refers to the 'rotation of the front side' of the canvas as the artist works on both sides of the board and then perforates it to allow the viewer to peer through the picture. De Caso uses this approach to shed new light on the foundations of the human condition, inviting the viewer to contemplate his existence, the process of questioning and various facets highlighted by the forced mobility around the work, as well as one's weaknesses in the face of the painting.
De Caso exposes the reverse side as a complementary part to the front of the work. The holes through the picture bring another dimension —a third dimension upon the work—which brings together the first two. The two sides of a painted picture that are linked by a vacuum are open to the sagacious interpretation skills of the spectator.
Michel De Caso comes from Toulouse, France and currently lives in the South of France near Carcasonne. He studied Art in Paris but considers himself primarily a self-taught artist. Although principally known for 'Rectoversion', he continues to paint numerous single canvases.”
