Painting is a necessity. This expression, this language are for me the best way to understand and integrate into my close environment.
My expressionist language is imbued with abstraction. It is for me the translation of my feeling about the world, life, matter, my gaze on woman, humanity, the portrait, the self-portrait, the environment, the vegetation, the water, the vibration. My painting is essentially emotive and sensual. No need to show my women or men, my landscapes in their entirety. Only a few details and movements suffice to reach my quintessence: the vibration. Then the occupation of the colored blot in the space of paper or canvas becomes decisive.
The portrait has fascinated me since childhood and the self-portrait has marked my life, my journey as a painter. It is a milestone in the evolution of my pictorial and plastic approach.
Sensory and gestural, my practice of watercolor is very personal, based on a powerful relationship with water and drawing.
With oil, I feel close to the masters of the past. I prepare all my supports and grind my colors.
Printmaking and sculpture retain the gesture, either freeing it, or imposing a line, a volume… I provoke matter and take advantage of its gifts.
