“Pour celui-ci, je suis partis du titre : "croisade sans croix” de Arthur Koestler, livre qui raconte l'histoire d'un homme en proie aux démons de son époque, à la recherche de ses racines…J'ai voulus y découpé une croix pour la perte de quelque chose et j'y ai adjoint une branche , comme une antenne branchée à son questionnement sur humanitude. Puis le frottis du bic sur la peinture dorée, comme effacement des valeurs, enfin le fil de cuivre tente de cicatriser la blessure de cette confession sur le XXème siècle.“

Visual artist, born in 1978 in Lille. currently lives in Caen, France.

I situate my work between a laboratory of forms (search for volume through drawing, painting and sculpture) and a tendency towards DIY (recycling of found objects and materials, transformation of their uses, reinvestment of their signs and questions about their subjects). I approach several mediums at the same time in order to extend the creative process to other fields of research: anthropology, natural sciences, etc.
The pooling of the two works like a small world with its own energy flows.
Usually I start with a series of sketches, notes and diagrams. I also rely on my reading, on a lot of images, which I feed on with bulimia. I exhaust their meanings until there is emulsion. This may explain the dreamy but also saturated appearance of my installations. Without cultivating a pessimistic view of the world, despite everything, I question our future through figures that are close to us, towards an imaginary that I wish to be collective; it is an opening onto a composition with multiple perspectives.
My recurring themes are environmental around the domus (house, private sphere/public sphere, hospital, etc.) and the extended living, according to a spatial questioning centered on the flow of energies, on magnetism and a set of enigmatic correlations.
