artist statement

I am a French abstract painter. In my work, there are two separate streams: abstract and interactive.

In my Abstract work, I have two different series.

In “Love Always Falls Back On Its Feet,” series, I deconstructed the word L-O-V-E into lines and circles in a variety of permutations. However, as the “E” of love appears at the bottom right of each painting with consistency and stability, it serves as a reminder that, like the sun on a foggy day, love is always present even in the middle of hardships.

In “Dance of Opposites,” I continue to experiment with combining geometric and organic shapes, but this time without the constraints of words or letters. Bringing opposing energies—geometry versus organic—into one composition and achieving that point of harmony and balance presents a formidable and thrilling challenge for me. In “Dance of Opposites,” I also experiment with the technique of stamping as a new approach to apply alcoholic ink, allowing me to deepen into geometric shapes while creating visual contrast with the medium’s more fluid aspect.

My second area of concentration is interactive art. I’ve made a series called “Re-Create”. “Re-Create” was inspired by my desire to assist others in developing their own creative and play skills. The viewer is encouraged to move different forms on a magnetized background in an infinite number of combinations to create their own original design. Art evolves from a defined fixed output to a dynamic, playful, creative, and transitory experience.

Painting an image, whether abstract or interactive, is a tumultuous and mysterious process and at times remarkable. This embrace with life and its mysteries always connects me back to Henry Miller’s words….“To paint is to love again”.
