Female faces, suspended in space, fragmented and silent.
It all began almost by chance: I found myself holding some wooden discs from the packaging of a vegan cheese. Thin, rough, imperfect. I liked their humble material, the fact that they weren’t meant to become art. I used them just as they were. And from that instinctive gesture, a small constellation was born.
The round shape immediately reminded me of the moon. And of women.
Because these “moons” are all female figures, even when they don’t fully reveal themselves. They speak of cycles, of waiting, of inner light. I’m not trying to paint a recognizable face. What matters to me is evoking a presence, an emotion—something that vibrates between what is seen and what remains hidden.
I use colors that speak to the skin and the heart:
blue that creates distance, red that pulses, orange that warms, violet that protects, yellow that awakens, and green that brings harmony and breath.
The empty spaces aren’t gaps. They are breaths, thresholds, invitations.
Each painting remains open: it’s completed by the viewer’s gaze.
These moons don’t reflect. They hold.
And maybe, in their own way, they transform.
