The imprint of a human wave

This collection is not painted in the literal sense; it was born from an intuition, a spontaneous feeling, without prior reflection.

Everything there is vibration and resonance.

This series of canvases evokes the appearance of a serene soul, yet beneath it all lies a subtle unease. A silent quest resonates: the search for oneself, for self-understanding, and simply for happiness. Through this work, I explore the desire to create while embracing well-being. A primal, almost instinctive well-being, akin to that of a child on a beach, under a bright sun. They dig into the warm sand with their hands and discover, beneath, a cool, soft, and soothing texture. In that precise moment, nothing else exists but this pure connection to the elements… this sensation of the sand between their fingers. How can one explain such a feeling?
The child, however, has no words. He simply feels. When I create, I become that child again. The one who plays, who explores, who discovers the world in his own universe. I chose the image of the wave because they all resemble each other, and yet none is identical. Like our lives: we are born, we live, we disappear. With each wave, a possibility presents itself. Some are bigger, more impressive, but we remain free to seize them or let them pass.
