I start my work on the portraits of these painters or sculptors by wanting to prolong suspended moments during an exhibition that surprises me and touches me deeply. Driven by the desire to keep the emotions felt in front of their works.

​

My effort tends to create a presence.

By working with the material with knives, fingers, in addition to my brushes, I shape my subject like a sculpture, trying to get closer to them. I cannot say what I am looking for in their eyes and their hands, I am trying precisely to find there the indefinable sensations that I felt in front of their works.

I surround myself with their presence so that they accompany me and carry me in my artistic research.

Abstraction is for me a dialogue in which I listen more than I paint. A search through gestures as if they were words, each emergence calling for a response. I express myself with all kinds of palettes,spatulas and brushes.

It is the canvas that guides and trains me.
