"A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy." Edgar Degas
For me, art has been a passion since a very young age. I like the freedom to work with colors, imagine, seek, and connect with nature. My inspiration comes from the color and the depth of a forest or the fragility and grace of flowers. Traveling around the world has allowed me to ignite my passion for photography. Slowly, my thinking and creativity process grew up. I started to insert in my acrylic or cold wax/oil paintings small areas cut from my photographs. It became an exciting process because any detail of my surroundings could be a source of inspiration. A decayed wall of a building, the natural design or shape of a gemstone or granite piece, or mushroom growth on a trunk tree, photos taken sometimes in the middle of nowhere, are present in my floral compositions, or water/landscapes. In my current practice, I use a variety of materials, such as molding paste, acrylic, oil, cold wax, Japanese paper, prints of my pictures or artworks, and different textiles. I adore to build images and lavish layers, depth and texture. Working with a multitude of materials helps me to dig into the complexity of our surroundings, and to revive the energy and the density of the world as seen by myself. |
