Presentation

Trained in artistic ironwork as well as artistic and cultural professions, it is towards sculpture that I naturally turned.

Nourished by the world of American comics, mythologies, inspired by César and Palolo Valdès, I chose steel as my preferred material.

My characters are therefore made of pieces of steel, sometimes mixed with pebbles gleaned from the banks of rivers and rivers, thus mixing metal with mineral.

For me, it is a question of proposing another representation of the human figure with forms that are sometimes open, sometimes closed; to develop a subtle game of opposition between the interior and the exterior, the convex and the concave.

These moving, undulating bodies, some in pain, end with hieratic heads, faceless, yet expressive, thus taking on a universal dimension.

My purpose is certainly to constrain the material, to master it, but also to play on the opposition between its physical rigidity and the momentum that I am trying to give to these characters.
