"Over the millennia the Earth has been shaped by the waters, winds and fire of volcanoes. What emanates from its natural sites we receive it, unconsciously. 

This latent and powerful energy I try to restore, in its diversity, in particular by the traces, reliefs and furrows that I print on my volumes, symbols of imaginary landscapes which come to solicit games of light and shadow, they oppose and reveal themselves in turn, affirming the vibrations that are signs of life and its dynamics. 

I try to finally express through them a space of quiet coherence, where finite and infinite, intimate and immensity can meet. By the rich and silky enamels which are in contrast with the raw and matte material of the mineral support, I also seek to share this force which I wish to make feel, which is part of ourselves and deserves all our respect, in an imaginary landscape like fundamental point of meditation".
