Artistic approach:
An obsessive painting as a center of interest, the desire to express myself through art has never left me, I devote myself to it, today at full time, I “slap” on the canvas the dreams of the night, the phosphenes, the obsessions, the myths or the memory of the poems learned or rediscovered... Any mental trace provides me with “the motif”! I build, then I paint and take up again tirelessly, letting myself be invaded by images, feelings, dreams, put to work with brushstrokes, knives...
By assembling shapes and colors, I try to make my imagination intelligible and what reality sometimes hides from the human being!
