Art Therapy, this is how I started drawing again. After a long period of stopping. Street art and customizing objects are ways for me to express myself freely and also to give a second life to certain elements.

When I was very young, I used to draw a lot, all I had to do was give me a sheet of paper and a pencil and my parents were fine.
When I was almost a teenager, I had other priorities like many young people and then I quickly entered the working and parental life. I didn't touch a sheet of paper and a pencil for about 20 years.
Then in 2014, during a trip, I went to an exhibition in the Wynwood district of Miami. A STREET-ART exhibition, a GRAFF universe, but also artists who presented everyday objects brought up to date... or rather, to their taste by customizing them.
This exhibition was a turning point because it rekindled this little flame.... Some time later, I started to take paintings from my home from the iconic "CITYS" and give them a second life because I had had them for a first life. So they also needed a second wind.
When I was younger, I only reproduced, because I had trouble having a creative mind.
So when I started working hard during COVID, I dared to free my mind. Always very attracted by the world of STREET ART and GRAFFITI, I continued to personalize paintings. I started to unite DIY on wooden pallets and then decorate them... One thing led to another, and I devoted myself to others. It's easier to do it with feelings and by personalizing your "scribble". Being attracted by the originality of customizing objects from the urban environment, this pushed me to create. I can work on a sheet of paper as well as on a sign, a wooden pallet or even on a graffiti wall...
In the end, I don't forbid myself anything, I accept any medium or creative idea. I very often spend hours researching and looking for inspiration. Sometimes for a simple letter or even a flower, the research costs me and takes me much more time than the creation.
I call it: ART THERAPY...I would almost compare it to meditation. There is no more: time - fatigue - no sound - no thought, just the hypnotization to reproduce my inspiration with the energy and feelings of the moment, whether positive or negative. Be careful, I go over it several times before being satisfied.
To conclude I would say that each work is only a reflection of feelings.
