Painter , engraver and photographer Peintre, graveur et photographe. My photographic work is part of the research into the interaction of shadow and light on visible subjects. Unlike my abstract pictorial work which focuses on lines, color and purely imaginary shapes. The engraving is what establishes a link between the two. Mon travail photographique s'inscrit dans la recherche de l'interaction de l'ombre et de la lumière sur des sujets visibles. A l'inverse de mon travail pictural abstrait qui se concentre sur la couleur, les lignes et des formes purement imaginaires. La gravure est ce qui établit un lien entre les deux. Freedom is the condition of any artistic form. But if each technique offers its creative possibilities, it brings with it its own constraints. However, a long working experience transforms these constraints into new spaces of freedom by the search for all that the materials used offer us as possibilities. This is why research remains at the foundation of artistic practice and results in something new. To be free is not to be locked into a repetitive process, but on the contrary, to try to overcome it each time. La liberté est la condition de toute forme artistique. Mais si chaque technique offre ses possibilités créatives, elle apporte avec elle ses propres contraintes. Une longue pratique du métier transforme cependant ces contraintes en nouveaux espaces de liberté par la recherche de tout ce que les matériaux utilisés nous offrent comme possibilités. C'est pourquoi la recherche demeure au fondement de la pratique artistique et aboutit à quelque chose de nouveau. Etre libre, c'est ne pas s'enfermer dans un procédé répétitif mais c'est au contraire, essayer chaque fois de le dépasser.
