I paint nature, plants, animals, bicycles, and all these magical things that surround us. I create to enchant the world of colors of the imagination. If I were not a painter, I would be a storyteller or acrobat to tell the stories, sometimes sweet, sometimes frightening, which allow us to hear our inner voice. My inspiration reveals the energies which, from the memory of being human, offer the visions which help us to understand the mysteries which surround us.

Comme la vie

This series owes its name to the classic category of paintings called "Still life" which is said in English "Still life" in other words, "Like life". Rather abstract works, inspired by my practice as a ceramic sculptor and potter and they are full of energy. They have a very zen atmosphere in their simplicity. Each is made in a limited and harmonious color range which underlines this sobriety. Imbued with gestural abstraction, they evoke the gesture of the potter who uses gravitational force to make her pieces. These paintings recall the organic nature of the earth, natural oxides and plants and arouse rich and varied emotions like life.

Meditations

Here is a series of works inspired by meditation sessions. I paint from memory after my own meditations. For painting, the most inspiring sessions are those which follow the practice of yoga. I practice Ashtanga yoga. The sequence ends with a posture called Savasana which often allows me to access a state of deep meditation. The mind is freed from everyday concerns, in harmony with the body, which gives me access to visualizations of shapes and colors, most often abstract but sometimes crossed with a figurative evocation, which themselves can invite reflection. meditation. The circle comes full circle in a circle of well-being that my creative process invites me to share.
