The artist :
A living, active artist who regards the creation process as as important as the final result, he early discovered the appropriationist movement. Originating from contemporary art, this movement advocates the appropriation of different media to create new meanings.
He began to explore this artistic approach and started collecting magazines, old books and photographs to fuel his creativity.
He freely mixes photographs, illustrations and texts to create his compositions.
He spends hours rummaging through stacks of magazines and old photo albums in search of the perfect image for his collages, especially images that seem to have no obvious connection to each other, finding in them a kind of unlimited artistic freedom, knowing that these disparate images would eventually be brought together to tell a new story.
Using his photography skills to create the images for his collages, the camera remains the basic tool for capturing textures, patterns and everyday objects.
Each collage is an artistic adventure in its own right.
Colors, shapes and textures create surprising contrasts.
The idea that each viewer can interpret his work and find their own meaning is almost a daily leitmotif.
He seems to have the ability to see beauty and potential, even in the most insignificant things, and believes that art can be found everywhere, even in the smallest details of daily life.
While continuing to push the boundaries of collage art, he continues to experiment with new materials and techniques.
