Through impossible landscapes, I try to make visible my imagination imbued with a powerful reality. The requirements of my research follow a laborious, winding path, dotted with joy, melancholy and dreams. I am looking for the writing, the support, the medium that best suits me to escape and translate this taste for travel to somewhere else located between past, present and discovery, shadow and light.
Not wanting to belong to any particular artistic movement, I mix abstraction and figuration. I multiply the techniques: pigments, oils, acrylics, inks, papers, coatings; the subjects overlap and are applied without academicism. My brushes, my knives, my fingers, my hands or more unusual tools come to deposit the color, the gesture comes to give rhythm, to scarify with force or gentleness according to my feelings. The supports diversify, depending on the context, an encounter or a constraint. Little by little, photography, sculpture and the assembly of various materials enrich my production.
Simple things fuel my inspiration, what surrounds me on a daily basis, but also an incessant curiosity about what exists elsewhere. From cave art, to the next contemporary music concert, from a stone picked up during a hike, to the latest information published on the web. I navigate by alternating openness to others and isolation. I capture moments from life and perform in the workshop. Succeed in taking the time to contemplate, feel and materialize my questions. I share stories, my way of looking at the world with the intention of preserving a certain spontaneity and traces of chance.
