Description

The Critical Contemporary – Charles de Foucauld remains the eternal brother for the XXIst century. At the crossroads between the North African and European World. His destiny preludes the destiny of Christians in northern Africa, harrowing witnesses of the Word, slowly cast away by the violent.

This Saint is also a promise for interreligious dialogue, tolerance and peace. He chose to settle away from his nation, away from other Christians, in the pure absence of sand. As a French Military Officer, he converted to Catholicism when he saw Muslims praying in the Sahara. Years later, he came back and gave his life in sacrifice for the people of desert that he loved to death.

Aurèle de Paladines, Le contemporain capital - Charles de Foucauld
France  • 1994

Presentation

A Parisian product mixed with Brussels freshness, I work on collages in which I try to show the beauty and harshness of our world, to bear witness to the suffering and joy that we can experience in our fragile but magnificent universe.

I am particularly touched by our collective experience of being the sons of a civilization that has ended up endangering life on earth. This dramatic experience finally prevents us from fleeing the questions that comfort and consumption allowed us to dodge.

Finally, the blind and heavy waters withdraw, carry us away, open up to give us back life.
