About The Artwork
My “wax me” series is a snap. A return to basics. Fabric is the first medium that imposed itself on me during my first artistic practices. This fabric, The wax, is at the genesis of my art (I painted directly on wax and not on paper or canvas). So in this series I use the wax to sublimate my major subject. That is to say the woman, nature, the observation of a femininity (without being a feminist). it is certainly chosen for its colorful patterns but it is also a sign of social recognition and a real support for non-verbal communication. Each pattern has a meaning and by wearing it, we "talk" to others. Indeed, the wax is not only the fabric of the garment, it is certainly chosen for its colorful patterns but it is also a sign of social recognition and a real support for non-verbal communication. Each pattern has a meaning and by wearing it, we "talk" to others. Names are also given to the models: - with the wax fabric called "okra leaf", the woman who wears it highlights the fact that she has saved a lot to afford it and that she is someone who makes an effort to get what she wants wanna. - with "You go out, I go out", fabric on which we see a bird coming out of a nest and another ready to follow it, by wearing this model, the woman sends the message that she will be as fickle as her husband! - with another classic which is the stuff "my husband is capable", the African woman shows that she is proud to have a caring and prosperous husband. The Pathé'o stylist then dressed Nelson Mandela with his wax shirts when it was not yet "fashionable." And for the record the wax is not of African origin. It was the Ghanaian mercenaries who returned from Borneo and Sumatra after the conflict, brought home the typical fabric of Indonesia Batik and it is according to its manufacturing technique that it will be renamed wax (which means wax). Ghana is followed by Ivory Coast and Senegal which set up manufacturing plants in their capitals to compete with Dutch wax.

France
I received a training in applied art at the University of Paris 8. I have worked for years with collage and painting exclusively of portraits. Using acrylic paint and wax fabric as a medium. However, I have radically changed my life. I came back to my roots by settling in Brittany, the country of my mother and her father. Land of nature with raw but bewitching beauty. My current work is inspired by and pays homage to this magnificent lady. Brittany, (Morbihan). I realize My sculptures by being inspired by its authentic nature. At a time when the voice of women is free and as a woman. I wanted to exploit the femininity of Brittany. Its nature and its microcosm appeared to me like a jewel. I thus integrated jewelry in the shape of an insect in my sculptures. I am using Granite. It is the emblematic symbol of Brittany. I collect stones from the sandstones from my walks and on my property (typical Breton house under renovation). Wood, in reference to the many Breton forests, Cradle of legends (mainly oak). I also incorporate the characteristic patterns of old pottery. Linked to my childhood memories. The memory of the enormous Breton dresser in solid wood that sat in my grandfather's little kitchen. In which was delicately stored the family treasures. "The old crockery bequeathed from generation to generation". These same patterns that I apply on my small figurines.My sculptures are stagings. Memories present that I deliver to spectators and buyers.
