About me
The visual repertoire feeds of the emotion and pleasure felt by observing and questioning the different points of view perceived at the bend of urban or rural strolls. They then play the game of experimenting with blurry or peripheral visions that are photographed or sketched. This unexpected look allows build up a pictorial vocabulary and establish an abstract intention of the landscape.
This trampling of images, sensations, small memories, put in reserve take part in the primary motivation of the creative process and is practiced with this in mind. Creation is built by the uncertain or affirmed traces of permanent exchanges of each intervention.
The large format allows the gesture to be deployed and allows breathing. The work experiments with color in transparency, in spots and drips, uses the accident of movement, employs monotypes that work towards visual poetry, promotes the balance of power between full and empty, contributes by graphic writing to remeshing of all of these acts to lead to a necessary emotion.
The paintings are the result of an association of various mediums: oil paint, acrylic, inks, chalks, black chalk, charcoal, graphical pencils which associated with each other lead to sensory energy.
Serial work allows to deepen the pictorial story, giving it consistency and continuity, offering a visual tale to look.
