A la dérive, se tient se personnage fait de cire, mais portant une barbe, au cratère béant dans le crâne, semblant énoncer quelques paroles, aussi opaques et futiles que la fumée s'échappant de son index, de son crâne.
Cet œuvre fait référence à la condition des marginaux que personne n'écoute. Les SDF, les fous, les idiots, les laissés-pour-compte, les oubliés qui nous font détourner le regard, ceux qui marmonnent dans leur barbe et qui vous mettent mal-à-l'aise, tout ces gens là, qu'on appelle ces gens-là par soucis de simplicité, parce que du peu que nous avons pu amasser en une vie, eux, semblent-t-ils couverts d'une triste aura qui nous pousse à nous méfier, comme si celui qui avait tout perdu portait sur lui la marque d'un maléfice qui pouvait se transmettre en gardant le contact visuel trop longtemps ne serait-ce qu'une seconde de trop
Levant la main, annonçant une chose, un point, aussi important que leur silence, la course de la mortalité devient brouillée, plus diffuse, plus forte, marquant des corps qui n'ont plus le droit de prétendre aux paraîtres, n'ayant pour seul héritage que la marque de la chair qui fond au compte goutte pour se perdre dans un oublis essentiel au maintiens de l'inutile statut-quo qui fait que les empereurs sont drapés de parures et les esclaves de guenilles.

To the impressionists, truthfulness. To the symbolists the transformation. To the surrealists the techniques. To the occultists the method. To my contemporaries the breath, to my friends the persistence, to my loves the will. I discovered ink around high school (in the form of felt-tip pens, plastics, disposable, industrial, useful). Since then, I have abandoned the rest. Except the human, the Art.
I come from an eclectic background. Literary baccalaureate, study of 2D animations, short internship in a company for an Arte production then I decided to stop everything, I entered into residency at 59 Rivoli in Paris and took advantage of the global pandemic to become a coffin bearer , get closer to the nerve point, humanity located between the perspective of love and the fear of death. Attraction and repulsion are two notions essential to my conception of art, which is profoundly dualistic, but always oscillating between one pole and the other.
My work is mainly transcribed through the use of ink. Ink is to my work what blood is to human life. The vision, like the bubble that rises from the boiling blood. In the tradition of the European symbolists, I seek to transcribe through the image the vector of what goes beyond it. The feeling is fleeting, but its moment, eternal. The work is a ruin. The ruin is always new.
I also practice tattooing done without the aid of machines as well as live models. I have participated in artistic experiments inspired by Marina Abramović's method, and occasionally engage in performance, filmed or not.
I I am happy that you have discovered my work through this medium, and I thank you warmly for the attention you bring to it. I live most often around the Paris region as well as 59 RIvoli where I met my first artistic family. I hope that you too will come to meet us one day, if only to share together the saving experience of art.
