About this artwork
In this work, I explored abstraction and semi-abstraction with fervor, using mixed media such as collage, pencil, Indian ink and ink on paper. I sought to capture the complexity of emotions, the overlaps of life, through the play of textures and shapes. The choice of materials reflects the union of fragility and strength. This composition is a visual dialogue, inviting introspective contemplation. The energy it gives off is both calming and stimulating,…
perfect for enriching the atmosphere of any living space.

« We don't explain the painting, we feel it. »
To show, to make feel, to evoke a certain emotion in the eyes of the other.
I have been working for a long time; I started in the 80s in Nancy with a solid, sometimes tough, apprenticeship.
I started with drawing and ink, discovering the line, the light of the black ink on white paper, I grasped painting at the same time, engraving and sculpture, hours and hours of work, of research, I would almost say of struggle, because sometimes creation is one.
An encounter with matter and so much more… I showed little, exhibited little, vaguely sensing that this was neither my goal nor my motivation; I felt deep down that I had to go much further, much further still, to touch one part of myself in order to better touch another. After a few years, I understood that my work didn't necessarily originate in my mind.
Today I emerge from this stronger and more at peace.
