ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Memento mori: even cathedrals are not eternal." My painting is as much to read as to see. It evokes the reminiscence of being. How to retain what escapes? Can we resign ourselves to oblivion - the very oblivion of famous women who, through their commitment, often their resistance, have marked our history? The title of the series certainly contains part of the answer. It is thus well beyond the mimetic representation of portraits and bodies that I questions memory. My painting is posed, in movement, stretched, faded, making any representation appear or disappear. All this gives an expressive dimension maintaining a barely revealed relationship with literature and photography...
