Pinto:

It is from recycled materials that he develops his visual repertoire: metal, wood, stone, manufactured objects, always assembled with a lot of appropriateness. He already glimpses, as soon as he picks them up, what possibilities of expression, life and movement they contain. Their assembly aims to bring out the spark of life that this collected material seems to already contain from the outset. Because for him, no material abandoned and picked up is ever completely inert. Always alive and carrying possible evolutions, the materials he collects constantly invite him to play and dialogue. An invitation to which he does not fail to respond, with remarkable economy of means, absolute fluidity of style and perfect accuracy of expression. For this exhibition, he has, among other things, selected a few birds from the repertoire of his vast bestiary and has also brought a few human figures, very often represented forming groups.

Brigitte Wagner:

Her artistic practice stems from her discovery of different Eastern countries. His stays and trips to Tehran, Marrakech and Rabat awakened his taste for Persian and Mughal miniatures. She now develops this form of expression in her own way, in gouache and watercolor on paper, delivering concentrated stylized poetry in her small formats. After having declined the possibilities of expression of these miniatures in a clearly orientalist repertoire, she has been acclimating her vocabulary for some time now to a wider repertoire of regions of the world, including also more western and northern countries. Operating a syncretism between forms from oriental miniatures and those known to European illuminators and cartographers of the Middle Ages and the first Renaissance, she invents a dreamlike universe which is very personal to her and which poetically evokes landscapes, the gardens, cities and monuments of these different parts of the world where she stayed. For this exhibition, she has brought together pieces evoking Morocco, Nepal, the city of Montreal and Provence.
