More than a passion, art is, for me, an essential value, as it invites us to reflect on a complex world, between inspiration, emotion, and technique. This passion leads, on the one hand, to operating on instinct, giving free rein to the inspiration of the moment, to a constant setting in context, and on the other hand, and at the same time, to measuring the weight of the message to be delivered. Art thus delivers a language that expresses itself with each touch of color, and an emotion with each nuance, to transcend perception and inspiration. "To paint is to release an emotion that words cannot express." (Zao Wou-Ki). A figurative and portraitist at the beginning, the experience of abstraction naturally leads me to the translation of my inner world and to the creation of a broader and more enriched palette. The works come from the depths of intimacy, beyond inspiration and intuition. Their creation and realization call for a dimension of solitude and meditation in the process of connection between the canvas and me. Each of my works is the fruit of an experience of creation, letting go and emotion. Likewise, it becomes a space for dialogue and sharing with their spectators, offering this same experience and this same inner journey. Indeed, each spectator projects their own experience onto it.
