My work is perceived as a contemporary painting heavily nourished by tradition. I claim an heritage from the past and want to align myself with a practice anchored in the very present. I have no other personal ambition than to feel Life and share my feelings. As an artist, painting is my path.

As far as content is concerned, I'm not interested in originality. My painting is figurative since it represents precisely something. However, it is certainly not a window on what we call "reality". It shares common themes with poetry because it is not really narrative and exists rather through its own nature. I mean via the organization of the canvas, the colour scheme, the pictorial matter...My only intention is to direct the Human Being and his surroundings : the Soul which crosses through men, women and animals, which floats in the sky, wind, water and fire, sleeps in the ground, rocks, the objects...Such classical topics absolutely suit me. The story is not important and it has been made by itself. The subject is only a reason to get the joy to paint and, if I need to escape from the subject to succeed in painting, the person who looks at it has to escape as well, so he can enter into the canvas like Alice crossing the miror. When contemplating flames in a fireplace, we see the flames but the gaze quickly forgets them and the dream projects its own images. So, painting a female face on a plain background is sufficient. The story is limited in suggesting that this woman is thinking, has feelings and breathes. This is the reason why I am situated between representation and abstraction. This is the reason why, to paint "Ophelia" floating eternally in water (my favourite subject I also call "immersed woman"), I just need to depict the little detail of the half-opened mouth and I only suggest a bust with milk-whited breasts half-immersed in a liquid and deep abstract matter where flowers and branches are gliding, where frogs and fish are swimming, where birds, dragonflies and butterflies are flying .

Concerning form, I'm not interested in originality either. I paint with brushes and oil painting on canvasses and panels made of wood. Some formats have been specifically used for some recurrent subjects like "female breasts" or "immersed women". I enjoy when the painting creates itself and when its execution drives me to unexpected solutions. I nevertheless attach importance to organization and rhythm. It is the work itself that allows to spring emotions from ourselves and to spring them on the canvas.
