Through my work, I have tried to create complete pictorial independence. After years of intense work, I strive to capture in my creations my physical, carnal relationship with colors, forms and textures. A constant subject of interest returns to me like an obsession: the human condition and how to define the states of mind and attitudes through colors and simple forms.
Where do you find inspiration?How to go deeper and probe into my being and that of others, observing, feeling, filtering ... I continuously filter and refine until I have the pure essence of what I wish to capture, which is to translate the soul in a work of art.I want my work to overflow, and for the viewer to sense that it extends into the infinite."The human being" - here is the most complex and most passionate subject, a constant search in the "research of the truth".
What would you do with $25,000?I would deeply value 8 to 12 months of uninterrupted creative time, free from the concerns of material survival, to fully immerse myself in a new chapter of artistic discovery. I believe true art asks for complete and genuine devotion, like a jealous lover—it does not accept half measures.
