From a long journey through the Amazon, sharing the daily life of tribes from various ethnic groups, I have brought back the sounds of the forest, the reverence for nature, and the mysteries of its supernatural spirits.

Through my painting, I try to capture in my own way a part of these fragile wonders, of this atmosphere that is so spellbinding and unsettling. Of its intense vibrations!

The jaguars and monkeys featured in this exhibition are among the marvellous creatures that inhabit this vast yet fragile Amazonian wilderness. Intriguing, with a wild beauty in the case of the jaguars, and playful and comical in the case of the monkeys.

I try to bring them to life by highlighting their personalities and characteristics.

What mystery lies hidden in their gaze? Are they the reincarnation of venerable shamans?

What do you see in their eyes?
