Statement:
Producing an artwork is a therapy. It's an obsessive quest of identity and well-being. I explored a lot of universes that marked me or touched me. Above all, I'm inspired by a lot of visual art : photographs, paintings, drawings, comics, advertising. Coming from a drawing background, I'm using the line a lot, with pastel, pencil, ballpoint pen black, rotring, Posca, etc. on acrylic or oil paint. Sometimes I create collages. I particularly like to paint on wood, since it's more solid than canvas or paper. I can't really control the composition of my artworks and often I do not know what to say. There is a large part of personal mythology, my references are included randomly in the image. I spend a lot of time thinking about my work, imaging different possible directions and trying to see differently.
