Art is a demonstration of which nature is the proof. George Sand

My story, my background

Between geometric abstraction and landscapes at the limit of the figurative, I work on the fragmentation then the reconstruction by the use of the collage of small pieces of recovered wood previously tinted. From a global vision, one plunges into the matter, an infinity of insignificant twigs (up to 48,000 pieces, sometimes less than 3mm). I exploit the effects of chance like automatic writing. Nature and our total spiritual dependence on it inspire me. It is ecological awareness that motivates my gaze and the assemblage that guides the gesture. My training in art techniques has given me the means to create my own aesthetic language, while my studies in art history have strongly nourished my imagination.
