Je peins souvent des nus, plutôt des nus féminins. Je n'aime la nudité que dans ce qu'elle a d'épuré. Je ne peins pas des nus passifs, je peins des corps debout ou en mouvement. La nudité n'est appréciée que parce qu'aucun vêtement n'y est une entrave au mouvement qui les anime.

L'infographie est une technique de prédilection pour travailler la ligne comme j'aime à le faire. Je pars d'une de mes peintures, parfois d'un détail que j'agrandis. Je découpe, détoure, copie et colle, décline les couleurs au gré d'une balade onirique dans mes peintures. J'espère toucher une forme de poésie.
