Current Series - Woods
The idea of landscape defines my work.
Getting across spaces, sensory experiences with the elements, the feelings’ twists and turns we are being led to are the common threads of my research.
The delicateness of living things -plants, rocks, lands, sea, rivers, streams, and invisible particles – moves me.
The violence of men facing the elements touches me and I paint to show my gratitude, to echo this suffering that resonates in me.
The mountains, the sea, the rivers haunt the imaginary places inspired by my strolls and my visions, enhanced by the southern light.
I have run away from the gloom, the lack of space. Nature in the south is powerful, it terrifies me sometimes, impresses me, haunts me, bewitches me, I contemplates it without ever getting weary.

Hypothèses - 2011
Just like a deposit, the fragmented space (diptychs 80/40 inch), opens up to a nebula that is light but dense, aerial but abyssal.
Working with pencils, oil and collages, the works question the very sources of creation, the roar, and the flows going through us.
Landes - 2010
This series is a tribute to birds, deer, does, roes, populating the forests like ghostly invisible sculptures.
Birds, wild animals are the figure of a wild nature that man erodes.
Just like strolls at sunset, the series reminds of scenes, an ode to the flora and fauna
Combined technique on paper 20/25,5 inches, and combined technique on canvas 40/40 inches.
Candy Birds - 2010
Merry and colourful birds populate the series with their cheekiness.
An unexpected experience which playfulness and freshness thumb their nose at naturalism.
A funny and whimsical nature that is like an antidote to melancholy.
Combined technique on paper 20/25,5 inches.
Haikus - 2009
The series is displayed as a large panoramic shot; the viewers face abstract convergence lines that invite them to walk through an unreal yet present floating landscape.
Like Basho and his 111 haiku poems, the installation uses the poetic codes with an optimal use of resources where graphite and ink brighten up the collages.
Each piece makes sense in its uniqueness but as a whole they become a landscape, a floating horizon.
