My painting is an ode to the transience of life, an act of reconstruction that places nature in all its power at the heart of everyday life.

I use a variety of techniques, favoring strong colors and impressionistic abstract elements, playing with intensity and shadows to bring light and perspective into the canvas. The free-flowing element of my paintings arises from the openness to the unexpected during the creative process and the evocation of a bold and powerful nature.

The main axes of my work are reflected in the various series I have created.

With a nomadic childhood between Europe, Asia and North America, I was struck by the differences in approach to what is considered beautiful. I retain a powerful memory of color and sensory saturation, sensations that I never cease to revisit. Today, I draw on an eclectic culture inherited from my travels and nourished by academic currents such as Art Nouveau in its relationship with nature, and Impressionism for its play on color. I focus on the exploration of light and texture, seeking the wonder of my childhood through the work of matter, the reliefs that create a play of light and shadow, the use of gold leaf in "Plongées merveilleuses" and the sfumatos of oil paintings.

My personal history plays a crucial role in my creative process. Following a brain tumor, I totally and permanently lost my sense of smell. This led me to explore new avenues of creation, such as the synesthesia of fragrances in my abstract series "Fenêtres sur le monde" (Windows on the World) and the strong relief of "Plongées merveilleuse" (Wonderful Dives) and "Une échelle du temps" (A Scale of Time), an exploration of mixed techniques in which I sculpt the material right on the canvas. In keeping with this idea, I invite the viewer to touch the canvas or turn it in all directions to change the perspective and go beyond their sense of sight. In this way, I seek to provoke a sensory experience and explore the relationship between the five senses, particularly in the case of "Windows on the World", a journey through the memories of the perfumes that have most marked my life.

I always keep in mind that each atom in the universe is only a fragment of something greater, a part that only makes sense when viewed as a whole. This is expressed through a series of inks on paper and the deconstruction of the image, which is manipulated in order to better reconstruct it, reflecting the perpetual cycle of nature. This deconstruction and reconstruction as a mirror of nature, with the torn, cut and pasted papers of "Feuillages fleuris" and "Tissages", speaks of the omnipresent nature that I want to reintroduce into everyday life, and of the element of chaos that is human life.

I transform fragments, bursts of color, into a multi-layered vision that one feels when standing at the edge of wilderness, a space that cannot be tamed or flattened on a canvas. These works challenge simple ideas about how we perceive nature, seeing it as a fragile place: in fact, it is resilient, bold, even invaded by man. It lives and dies at the same time, in perpetual motion. It's about welcoming the unexpected in life, just as I had to welcome the illness and handicap represented by anosmia, and in creation, with the idea of spontaneity, of painting without repentance, just as we live without being able to replay a "missed" moment, through the work of ink that flows or is projected, in "Feuillages fleuris" or "Une échelle du temps".
