Detail
This painting is part of the series "The difficulty of being..."

I am telling the stories of men and women 
in a process of fulfillment. 
They're looking for freedom, identity and affirmation. 
A little sad, monochrome, they reveal, despite themselves, 
a completely different intimacy, like an aspiration 
to another free, rich, essential life.

My paintings often deliver characters alone. 
Stuck in their dresses or costumes, a little awkward,
a little stiff, they nevertheless evolve towards liberation.

At last, they are courageous personalities who dare 
to get out of their shackles and face their fears. 
Starting from introspection to finally defy the social 
norms and roles.

By their attitude, these figures invite us to a confrontation 
that hesitates between aggression and dialogue. 
A pose that oscillates between withdrawal and affirmation. 
These are all the contradictions of human nature.
