For Mathieu, the colour red represents revolt, flames, the energy that inhabits his work from the very first moments:
"What a prodigious adventure to decide to oppose the world, the world of forms, the world of habits and behaviour. Success depends on patience, will, luck and certainly talent; not only 'knowing how to paint' but also a certain 'clairvoyance'"
