For some time now, paper has become his exclusive medium. He precisely cuts geometric shapes that he assembles in layers. The paper then comes out of its simple and flat appearance to go to? a three-dimensional and architectural universe. The superposition and the accumulation confer a density? at? this almost imperceptible support and give life to? these works of paper. The choice of this mundane matter confers on? its transformation into a perennial, unique and intellectual work with a particular intention. "Abstract expression allows me to approach existential themes in a less frontal way. I can organize space and seek beauty, calm and balance. It also allows me to question the other, to rely on their own emotions. "
