Creative process

Combining visual arts, crafts and textile art, my practice is multidisciplinary and is part of the renewal of contemporary art. I have always been drawn to different materials and textures. Subtle nuances thrill me, as I'm very sensitive to color. For a long time I favored black and white. My beginning was rather an exploration of different techniques and materials. The use of charcoal, ink, ecocline and pastel were my favorites. Subsequently, I worked on printmaking and lithography.

Now, my work as a visual artist is inspired by tensions. They are found between strength and fragility; the complexity and the simplicity and especially my fight between the capacities of the materials and my will to surpass them.

We see it in my series of wings: heaviness/lightness, flexibility/rigidity, car fender(Aile d'auto in french)/bird wing. Inspired by several materials, its plasticity and its texture, I consider the materials and the manufacturing process as part of the act of creation.

My work is often inspired initially by a figurative form that I appropriate in my own way. Often sober and airy, often abstract, I use layering which, layer after layer, becomes the protective skin of an outdated inner world. My work exposes the mirror of souls, transposed into a subject, telling the multiple traces and imprints left by life.
