Oradour Painting

My practice, paintings and drawings, is defined by the experimentation of  materials and processes, towards unconventional techniques and  media which question the notion of trace: traces of existence whose photographic aura remains, at the heart of my practice , the matrix. My work as a painter endeavours to restore in its layers and traces the vestige of a human presence which exposes itself to the eye by materializing the conditions of its survival in this image making. These orphan images (that's how I call them) are photographs of anonymous people, onlookers of another time emerging from an unknown but strangely familiar environment, a no-man's-land of no one and anyone.
