My work on abstraction is based on research of meticulous refinement as a springboard for introspection.
It oscillates between binary oppositions: imagination and observation, insight and excitement,
balance and imbalance, full and empty, life and death.
The style blurs the boundaries between painting, drawing and graphic writing
while maintaining a high degree of love of colors.

2. The image, unique, founded on a while of creation.
As visual artist, I paint on many different supports developing my personal abstraction vision using acrylic paints, as well as tex-
tures and other mediums.
My work is a seductive, beautifully shot study of the relationship between collective and personal crises.
My innovative abstraction is looking for an extraordinary refinement and oscillates between binary opposites: imagination and
observation, lucidity and frenzy. She blurs the boundaries between painting, drawing, and writing while preserving a high degree
of love of the colors. My paintings are also in a constant state of flux and suggest different things to each of us. Lines, shapes and
paint stains can suggest me some things I would never consciously designed.
I find my singular way into a landscape of social and human tensions. Initially, my desire to paint is the simple desire to reflect on
the existential question: «Who am I?».
My painting style is the sum of my personality, my experiences and my meetings, all that I dared to do and be in my life so far. I
try to apply it as much in painting figurative as an abstract way. This perception of myself and the world open almost unlimited
possibilities of creation.
I always seeks novelty, surprise and risk-taking and I touch a certain universality that ties us all. This is what I paint that defines the
contours of my painting since I started: she is unique, personal, identifiable, accessible, lively and full of freedom.
I have created the expression of mental topography, a way to design new alphabet, to develop a full-fledged language with a
unique writing, original and lively.
Since many years, I have developed this own pictural and textual language, always in movement and evolving. It comes to interior
and exterior, orientation, respective positions of the objects and human in space, of self and otherness.
My new purpose: a continuous conversation between me and the unknown!
