This work was inspired by permanent migratory flows in the history of mankind. Structured in 5 triptychs, a total of 15 pieces of 60x60 cm. Each triptych speaks of a space that migrant populations cross (mountains, valleys, deserts, shores, seas). The long human chain which crosses all these spaces is realized in a continuous line, without ever raising the pencil. This writing lasted 4 hours non stop, that is to say about 10 meters of writing. Each character is different and in total connection with those around him. These pieces (acrylic on paper) were mounted on canvas and framed in a box. Cette œuvre a été inspirée par les flux migratoires permanents dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Structurée en 5 triptyques, soit au total 15 pièces de 60x60 cm. Chaque triptyque parle d'un espace que les populations migrantes parcourent (les montagnes, les vallées, les déserts, les rivages, les mers). La longue chaîne humaine qui traverse tous ces espaces est réalisée d'un trait continu, sans jamais lever le crayon. Cette écriture a duré 4 heures non stop, soit environ 10m d'écriture. Chaque personnage est différent et en lien total avec ceux qui l'entourent. Ces pièces réalisées en acrylique sur papier ont été marouflés sur toile et encastré dans une caisse américaine.

French artist, born 1962 in Paris, located in Brittany (France). For me everything is a plea to hijacking, turning round, reversal. Regardless at the medium, only the idea is important. The solution will be found through the most appropriate tone and means I do not refuse anything. Why should I? I hate settling. My path always leads me elsewhere anyway. The Eternity must be an actor in my art obviously. Otherwise my art would not be art . I hope that this path will attract the observer and invite him to enter an explanation. As my work goes on I am learning to adapt to my inner visions, let us say unreal rather than real, without resistance. If I was given life, so I was also given the means to understand how the top and the bottom articulate together. From this outlook is born the idea that art is a refreshing and dynamic force, containing vital ingredients. I hope to harmonise the diverse ingredients of art in the melting-pot of my painting, deeply hoping that it will be a modest sample of the "Melting-Pot of Life". To do this, I get and use posters and communication tools of our consumer society. From these materials, the starting point of my reflection is an advertising slogan or an image printed on the original, I carefully keep it and generate another campaign of awareness about a dramatic situation. This is perhaps an image of hope if we notice it.
