Artist's Statement: “The exact title of this painting is Saba Regina, in reference to the Queen of Sheba. A fascinating woman living in a distant, imaginary, and legendary African Middle East, accompanied by her two cobras and fruits with intoxicating fragrances. This painting is dominated by warm tones and metallic pigment effects. As I am both a painter and sculptor, this painting is linked to the conception of one of my sculptures entitled Inaya, which serves as its model, hence the statuary aspect of the central figure. It is an attempt to create a dialogue between two techniques around the same subject."
-----
This captivating artwork features a central figure with multiple faces, merging the traditional and the modern. Each face displays a unique expression, symbolizing the complexity of human identity. Geometric patterns and flowing lines lend a striking dynamism to the composition. Vibrant colors, dominated by reds and blues, create a striking contrast with organic elements, such as exotic fruits. Pineapples and floral motifs frame the central figure, adding a tropical and surreal dimension. Inscriptions appear tattooed onto the skin, inviting personal interpretation. The interplay between graphic and symbolic elements underscores the narrative richness of the work. This piece is a bold exploration of the duality and multiplicity of cultural and personal identities, captivating the viewer with its depth and vibrancy.

Presentation
See, observe reality as if we were discovering it at the moment. Starting from drawing, taking parts of visual reality, recomposing them to construct an expressive object, a sculpture or a painting which would have its own logic, its own balance. My work is always composed first on a sketch, whether in two dimensions or in volume, the drawing is my basis for reflection. I naturally focus a lot of my attention on colors. Flashy or discreet, smooth or rough, light or dark, they respond to each other and form the harmony of a work. Even my sculptures are most of the time polychrome as an echo of my painting works. Portraits, subjects often discussed, beyond the resemblance it is the deep and felt expression of a personality or a being that I have met or seen. The writings, recurring in my work as a painter, are generally inverted, like the da Vinci codices. These are indeed words or sentences, the meaning of which is linked to the spirit of the painting and its theme. It's like a form of written redundancy of the subject of the painting, it's background noise, it's the thought that never stops. My technique. In a word: 'mixed'. Acrylic first then reworked in oil by superposition, this process allows transparency and opacity of material effects or glaze appearance. I also have a particular affection for energetically brushed gestural effects to give movement to my composition and express this energy which is in all things. And in sculpture? Mixed too. It is a clever assembly of special cements, concrete and cut stone aggregated and sealed on a metal frame. The history of art. No painter can claim to do without it. No one emerges from nothing like pure genius. So yes, I am influenced by a lot of ancient and contemporary artists and I dig into their works with real pleasure. in bulk Bruegel, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Vinci, Dali, Francis Bacon, Picasso, Erro, Giacometti and many others. And I don't limit myself to large-scale painting, you can also see in my work the influence of comics or Graph.
