As the words come to me in my poems, the choice of colors is essential in my paintings. The reliefs, the more or less clear, more or less dark tones are similar to the accentuation of my sentences. A few points followed by other sentences, that of the questioning to express a doubt or to question oneself and so many exclamations to affirm, support, put a spotlight on a crush. Everything inspires me! empathy when I perceive what the Other feels, when I feel it so strongly that I have to express it as if to achieve a kind of appeasement when I paint with such a line, such a color and almost with rage . my writing is not "calculated", nothing is mathematical I write and I paint poetry as I am part of humanity, my little person expresses himself thus, it is from the inside, under the skin, in my heart, in my feelings, that my spontaneity chose the pen or the brush to express itself without brakes. This hypersensitivity, to have an interest in being, must be shared. Everything inspires me! Transmission and transgression of the rules fight my brush, one taking the hand while my hand extends it to the other. Although the theory, the prescriptions of the discipline, of the technique are very important in the practice, or even the aesthetics, I admit that the emotional quality prevails. the picture is built, matures in my mind, over weeks, months and other times in a few hours. My senses and my consciousness communicate and make me vibrate during the realization of my artistic expressions until leaving more room for my unconscious, the innate and everything then expresses itself with this impulsive sincerity that characterizes me, until voluntarily leaving a fault or an erasure, like fragments of my soul, of my self ... It is very interior and inspired by the exterior. . Helped by the memory of my eyes, which have seen, perceived beyond sight as I write and like to say: "to be able to see well and a whole art, beyond sight of course". I see abstract art as an exploration of the unintelligible, an opposition of being to having, a language that wants to be universal, an expressive look, like a given smile.
