If I look behind me, I can see that I have been always attracted by pencils and brushes. I have always loved drawing and my father used to paint for a long time. That was a need as well as a passion. That was a need to be with myself, like a meditation, and to escape to the real world.
That is still the case today. If my life took me far away from that for a long time, I came back to it, feeling that need again. I really felt that I had to be in adequation with what I am, who I am. My works express these emotions, these sensations that need to get out of myself in a way or another. I chose painting to do it.
I always feel the impression to live in a kind of duality. On one side, I have my needs and my passions, and on the other side, I always doubt, I think about the way I chose for my life. That is not exactly the way I first chose and sometimes I feel like I should go back to a normal life. But I can escape it. So I decided to take the both sides of my self, the white and the black, the heart of that duality, and try to express and live it in my works. Using what I love and my fears, the curves and the lines, I try to mix it together and give something personal to the canvas.
I hope you will enjoy my website
