In my painting on canvas, wood or paper, the collage and the different techniques agree to show both organic, botanical, mineral and body elements. Figuration? Abstraction?

I’ve always navigated between these two poetic forms.

The world I invent is a puzzle where everyone can interpret what he sees.

I’ve never been interested in faithful reproductions of reality, nor in making the figure a part of an ideology against society, against war, against politics.

There is no militancy in my paintings, only the evocation of my universe – the re-creation of a world that isn’t the world of my friends, or my neighbours, or acquaintances. It’s a parallel world, like the parallel world of Lewis Carroll, except in place of Alice is it I that falls through the looking glass. My world is ironic.

The real also invites itself through fragments of landscape, of vegetation and rubs shoulders with the absurd. Humor also has its place in composition and moves into the title of the painting.

For several years, the body has been inviting in my works. Fragments of true or false organs: heart, brain, lungs, scanned body. At the same time, a spiritual research is being carried out in works that are similar to rich icons with golden backgrounds. In works from the Grail series ( 2020 to 2023), the
couple shares a path where love represents light.

Photography is another aspect of my artistic work which perfectly reflects my poetic aspirations. From the simple self-portrait in the vegetation where the body of the subject (me) disappears drowned in a square of fake greenery, humorous staging to the very strange panoramic
landscape of a beach in northern France and where a packed wooden stake looks like a human figure, it is always a question of astonishing the spectator and forcing him to interpret each day more in front of the photo.
