“My sculptures illustrate the systematic search for space. The interweaving of volumes give birth to the interior space which is in tension with the exterior space.

Surrounding the space by multiple directional variations of the steel, delimiting a portion of space, is not locking it up: the Volumes are sculptures open to the exterior space. In their incompleteness, the bars suggest other forms and directions of space. In this expression that is as objective as possible, without descriptive aspect, without narration or figuration, the form is entirely conceived before its realization. The dynamic given by the diagonals is only one movement among others which are discovered by turning around the structure: it is the parameter of space / time.

This approach in steel thus allowed me to create a light and moving sculpture of which Space is the major component. Each element of a series is the development of an experimental and aesthetic line, managed by precise parameters. It is a concrete sculpture. "
