Over the years, I have developed a vast field of interventions and technical skills. Year after year, my production reinforces itself.  It echoes of previous realizations and it reached a point where the whole body of work became complementary and coherent throughout my large network of mediums and medias. It is personal and poetic. My aesthetic research of colors and lines is very intuitive. I have a strong natural sense of colors and composition.  My action of marks-making is the materialization of raw energy. I possess freedom of mind and the fantasy to play. The complete and secure form of the circle becomes a referential in my constructed environments.  It resists the weight of gravity.

My art often deals with the duality of opposite concepts and ideas on an aesthetic and literal level. This is a very fine line of where many tensions emerge. I am a reporter of my time.  I map spaces. I investigate personal and collective spaces, natural as well as constructed. I take different points of view, grounded or aerial, to transform and translate places, to question reality. I celebrate the everyday life and its inner beauty. I am glorifying the banal. Architecture devices fascinate me. Objects and light become mine. I mix and shift boundaries of mediums and logistic precepts. My new spaces are the product of my unique psychic scheme of viewing and analysing; real or virtual, they answer to my own creative laws. My work has an accessible first layer, a seducing visual content. I create new reference worlds that are mirrored to my own reality.
