INTRODUCTION

This website is my portfolio and provides an overview of my work as an artist. These few lines explain my artistic approach and which themes constitute it.

My artistic approach is based on the use of recycled materials, found either in waste or in second-hand markets. I like the historical and ecological dimension of these materials. This process contains two important elements.

The first is materials such as papers, vintage postcards, canvas and others. These materials found in the streets are also a matter of chance, and this element of chance is really symbolic in my work and inspiring for developing ideas which give rise to new series. Working in series allow the possibility of an open dialogue between different pieces and deep ways of exploring them.

The second is the reuse of these materials in the studio where I play with combinations of them. The reuse is also a means for me to denounce and fight, in my own modest way, consumerism and overproduction.

Some themes are frequently included in my work. The use of lines, fine or thick, is one. I use lines to create or to close space. It is, at the same time, a trace and an imprint of the time which structure the image. The lines also represent movement, masses and human activity.

The feeling and the appearance of dreams and past images is another. These images come out from my unconscious, waking lost emotions and sensations. These images are also associated with temporality, which is present in my work.

Abstraction is the last. It gives me the freedom to explore various new ways and to express feelings, ideas and fears with colours, shapes, lines and structures. Abstraction is an unlimited source of inspiration, exploration and investigation.

The human factor represented by the viewer is also important because everyone reacts in a different way in front of a piece of art. To be thrown into another reality which is unusual opens the possibility for the viewer to dialogue or not with the work.
