Presentation
I'm looking at you because you can't see me.
It takes guts. It is the prison of something wrong.
Then, it's the unconscious and obsessive idea to say it, to express this gnawing emotion. It is a laborious job of research, observations, expectations and patience. The line is the materialization of this hidden and sacred word, buried in me. The line is my liberation, it is the word that I do not pronounce, it allows me to express myself, it is my legitimacy and my guide towards an understanding of my existence.
Painting is not a passion, it is a state of emergency and survival, it is an emotional balance.
So, I naturally oriented my creation towards the portrait and the human figure. Even outside my work, I need to read and feed myself through other influences and feel what emerges from them emotionally, I seek the expressiveness of the line, the look, the posture and the word which comes as close as possible to humans and their abysses.
So I paint my fears, my sufferings but also those I see and perceive in others, their faces, their postures, their atmospheres.
I am hurt every day to observe the horror of a contemporary society in which I live. I do not understand her, neither her conformism, nor her immobility and I do not recognize myself in it. And yet I have to live with it, adapt, so I cry in silence and I paint.
This cry is my unconscious and sacred word. It is a cry of helplessness, it is a cry that can be recognized in abandonment and exile, in the loss of love and broken bonds. It is cold, silent and cruel, it tells of the emptiness of the loved one and the loss of identity.
It's a call. This cry is also my rebirth, my hope, my strength, my resilience. I look for truths like so many faces and identities that I miss in a society without ties.
