"The obsession with the origins of life, whether cosmic or terrestrial, is one of the feelings that has always inhabited me and that one day led me to pick up my brushes, to seek the path, the source, to dream of the time before birth... To bring to the world inner visions bringing together "imaginary spaces" that are sometimes floating, fragile, indecisive, spirited, suspended, wild and singular. Like a poetic transposition of our souls. Driven by the desire to make visible what wasn't visible before, I very often proceed by erasure, which gives me the feeling of digging deeper, getting closer to the image of the night, sometimes meeting that presence hidden inside... Through painting, I have the feeling of being able to give form to my abstract thoughts, my intuitions and questions. For me, it's also a universal language, a form of non-verbal communication, a way of building bridges between people, weaving invisible links and opening up new horizons.
