Painting is neither for me a business nor a self-indulgent narcissistic display. It is neither a profession nor a hobby. The creation in the intimacy and the solitude of the workshop is a necessity, sometimes pressing and urgent, often a therapy, a liberation. I alternate ceaselessly between the abstract and figurative periods, dark and coloured tones, to avoid becoming fossilised in a stereotyped production. A prosperous period has to give up its place to another. A picture is at the same time a technique and a testimony. I worked at first oil on a reactive support (enamelled melamine panels) accepting the speed, fluidity, transparency as well as the dullness, the trowel and its pasting, very much as the excesses of medium. The writing is often present and the words, sometimes surrealist, reflect Caribbean Sea blues, alizarin reds, Indian yellows, for moments of eternity, fugacious and soothing. Since 2000, on an indifferent base, I added acrylic (for wider coloured “aplats”), more and more present material (sand, sawdust, plaster, crushed paper) as well as sticking (papers and rags), in a slower, more traditional work, where the persons are anchored in every day life.My universe is the water, the stone, the fire, the blood, it is also the free and alleviated man who nourishes prints of the past to advance step by step, to leave traces, even modest, to those whom he loves. It remains to marry these two contradictory universes but, with the coming of age, one can feed the hope to discover one day the mysteries of the philosopher's stone.

Article
La création dans l’intimité et la solitude de l’atelier est une nécessité, parfois impérieuse et urgente, une thérapie souvent, une délivrance. J’alterne sans cesse les périodes abstraites et figuratives, les tons sombres et colorés, pour éviter de me scléroser dans une production stéréotypée. Une période aboutie doit céder la place à une autre.
La peinture n'est pour moi ni un commerce ni un étalage complaisant et narcissique. Ce n'est ni un métier ni un hobby.
Mon univers a longtemps été l’eau et la pierre, le feu et le sang. Aujourd'hui, l’âge venant, en homme libre et apaisé, je me nourris des empreintes du passé pour avancer pas à pas, pour laisser des traces, même modestes, à ceux que j'aime.
Sans doute n'ai-je pas dit mon dernier mot mais j'ai enfin renoncé à percer le mystère de la pierre philosophale.
