Where will you run at night? Painting

My painting follows in the footsteps of oneiric and poetic figuration. The world I paint is that of dreams, of the subconscious and of archetypes. My pictorial approach revolves around creating pictures that can be read in many ways, and provoking uncertainty. I may create figurative paintings, but they are certainly not illustrative. I aim to shape an atmosphere that can be interpreted in different ways. On canvas or on paper, I explore the ambiguities inherent to representation. I intertwine different techniques to reveal the complexity of the visible world and evoke the invisible. 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. It should instead incite discovery. Just like a dream also can…
