My whole creative act consists in paying my attention to the body, to the human figure. The city of the XXIst century registers record rates of population density, noise, pollution, goods, exorbitant rents, tight spaces, without any real rather artificial nature. I look at this body, I observe it. The sculptural form obtained by my work is linked to the body just like conversations; bodies dramatize, stretch, see, feel, reject, expand, contort, enjoy, mutilate, disgorge, seek, copy, transform, print, hide, fall apart, shift, implore, ... The human and his model of society focus the meaning of life on frenzied virtual consumerism and seem to divert the individual from questions of well-being and identity. His body expresses itself through the unconscious, takes on sculptural forms of opposition. The report seems to be made, the written form. What then is my role as an artist to play in the city? What alternative can I offer? In my creative act I try to reintroduce new spaces, significant for "the human figure". Messrs.
