C'est un événement que je voulais représenter, tres simplement, mais de façon lumineuse et en même temps dans la vie courante, avec les animaux de la maison, mais sans qu'on voie personne d'autre que les deux protagonistes; à la fois dans la vie de tous les jours, et à part; un des moments les plus importants de l'histoire du monde, dans le silence.
l'air intérieur de la maison-grotte est plein de particules en mouvement, vivantes, melées aussi de particule d'or. De la poussiere d'or éclabousse la scene intérieure, pourtant par ailleurs d'une extreme sobriété: un foyer ardent, avec une marmite et deux jarres de terre cuite. l'intérieur et l'extérieur se compénetrent. Marie a une étoile sur la poitrine, qui symbolise qu'elle est enceinte, pas seulement physiquement, mais emplie de la présence vivante réelle du Christ en elle; elle est enceinte, car c'est son oui représenté par son attitude corporelle et notamment son geste des bras et des mains, qui scellent "l'Incarnation du Verbe", c'est pourquoi le titre unit cette acceptation et l'Incarnation; et des étoiles sur son voile. Ce n'est pas la Vierge de Guadalupe, mais une petite réminiscence.

I was first a photographer. For me, it was 'light writing'. I gave up because of a big change in my life. I would very much like to resume, I still have the eye and the sensitivity. Apart from school, I have no training in drawing (except a small online course, on domestika) and painting, but as a child I wrote little stories that I ;illustrated. Then it fell into oblivion, and I started again, in the 80s, being in a rather sad place, to make a very beautiful nativity scene, happy, luminous, having at my disposal a back of poster and oil pastels. Since then, I have always wanted to use these pastels whose consistency and luminosity I like, at least the ones I use, and which suit my style well, and I have done so. , not in order to become a painter, but to celebrate beauty, life, and in particular that of an indigenous Maya community where I lived, and others like it; to show 'the sky' present among us and in us, as real as the hells we see; but also as certain ways of living, outside the spheres of competition but attentive to life, promote peace. I also want to show or highlight a 'reading' of this or that episode of Scripture which is not necessarily the one we see the most. Now I have the possibility and the desire to start again, with a similar and renewed inspiration, and always the passion for color. I just have 5 works for sale to present, a 6th in progress and projects for a few more, as well as some old ones that are not for sale. For the moment, I show, above all, moments of 'connected' life and illuminates, from the outside and from the inside, in characteristic places and occupations, generally work, tillage, manual work. I try to reproduce a certain movement and vibration of things, and not only the beings and the related things, but the relationship itself, between the source and its fruits too, but it is not yet that that I'm looking for.
