Through subjects, having multiple influences, what drives me is an endless search for a universe of free expression in which spatiality dominates. However, it is the surrealists that I refer most often. The subjects that I particularly like often come from a figuration, being in reality only a pretext for an interior exploration, and often result from sketches and collages. I give myself no limit of inspiration: ancient art, modern and contemporary art, poetry as much as the vulgar, music as much as noise, imagination as much as everyday life ...

Numerous group and individual exhibitions.
