Le fou du volant, 2000

Singular and poetic art ...

It is never easy to qualify your art ...

However, through my work, I think I offer people the vision of a certain pictorial and poetic singularity.

My main source of inspiration is the human in what he has of curious, fragile, sensitive. All in serenity and appeasement, I invite people to take the time to linger on my work.

I created a parallel world that leaves a preponderant place for a positive thought and in which no culture and all cultures mix.

Sculptures and paintings immerse you in an inner reverie and appeal to the part of the child that has remained anchored in each of us. They open a window towards an elsewhere and invite to a journey beyond our daily life, in a world where everyone can let their imagination wander without limits.

The characters seem to be timeless, disconnected from real life but actors of their own dreams.

You will also notice that my characters are barefoot. It is about representing simplicity, return and attachment to the land.

My work is a form of poetry where the spectator is actor of what he discovers with his own sensitivity and his own history.
