ABOUT THE ARTWORK

For several years I have worked on the theme of forests. These offer the visual exploration property extremely rich. This is the first place of vegetable profusion: all kinds of trees, ferns, grasses intertwine in a sometimes stifling atmosphere. It is also the location of the mystery hidden behind the foliage birds, mammals, reptiles ... The fact that these tiny lives are invisible or imposing under arouses the visitor curiosity and concern. The forest is finally a symbolic space. This is the location of the event prompting the lost to excel, to overcome his fears to become stronger.

I use acrylic, oil, charcoal, pastel, collage… I mix the script, leaving some areas only alluded to by light touches, unexpected spots of colour, superimposed layers of glazes, or on the contrary, drawing with deliberate precision a hand, a face, a small detail… A painting for me must not be obvious or straightforward.
