About this artwork
In this sketch, I allowed the gesture to unfold the body like a flower awakening. The lines unfold, sometimes hesitate, then surge forth, carried by an inner energy. The black line affirms presence, while the red and transparent washes suggest the warmth of life, like a secret circulation beneath the skin.
I am not trying to confine the body to a precise form here. Rather, I am letting its inner movement, its breath, this discreet force that flows… through it and makes it open up to the world, appear.
This drawing is for me a fragile birth: that of a body that awakens, discovers itself and blossoms in the space of the paper.

"I have always drawn to feel, to understand. After a devastating illness, the body—my own body—became a place of both fragility and insubordination. It is in this context that gesture, line, and form have become even more essential.
In this series, which I call "Presences in Filigree," I seek less to represent than to listen. The body is both figure and echo: it speaks quietly, but it says everything. I focus on silent postures, lines of tension, areas of shadow—what the eye only grasps slowly and empathetically.
Each drawing is in fact a trace of presence: that of the model, of course, but also mine, intimate, vulnerable, crossed by emotions that I prefer to keep silent otherwise.
