Your work deeply explores the unpredictability of life and human experiences. Can you describe a specific moment or event that greatly influenced your artistic direction?

When I was very young, a teenager, I had to go outside of my city, outside of my country, outside of Europe, to the unknown. Confronted by what was a jungle compared to the protected life I had in my parental environment, I was then forced to introspect, to discover the real values that matter to me, to know myself, and artistic creation was like a mirror to me.

You use geometric shapes and the color white in your work. How do these elements reflect your view of the world and your relationship with nature?

Nothing is perfect, or should we say, “everything is perfect”? Nature is pure, like a white color, a never-ending horizon with so many unknown answers, calm and a little naive. Simple and unpredictable, it can surprise you at any moment, knowing that your mind does not have control over it. Then, we have humans, power, and the brain working together to interview the world of nature. Adding those straight lines, the opposite of soft and curved, in the middle of this beauty does not seem to match but still has its deep purpose. The contrast between those two worlds is fascinating.

Your paintings evoke both simplicity and profound emotional depth. How do you achieve this balance in your compositions?

Just like we all live our lives, we learn how to make a balance in everything that we do. Nothing can be done properly if the balance is not right. Adequation. Think of it as the perfect cake; one wrong measurement will ruin it all … how terrifying is that! It is all about harmonizing things together until you are fully satisfied. My paintings always tell me when to let my brush go …

How does the connection between people, the earth, and all living beings manifest in your art? Are there specific relationships or interactions you aim to convey?

Working together and understanding each other is the only way to build harmony and the right path to achieve our desires in life. Acknowledge the space and needs of everything and everyone, is the lesson that will reflect on our own destiny. We are not alone, and we can’t be alone. What would be the plants without photo-synthesis… one element can’t live without the other. A simple bee species missing can end the world. We have to learn how to respect each other and our surroundings, like I naturally blend and harmonize emotions together in my paintings.

Your work incorporates a blend of personal, intimate themes with raw, exposed elements. How do you approach the challenge of portraying these contrasts in a visually harmonious way?

Elements that are contrasted are always talking to me. I am fascinated by things that are very much the opposite. I love simplicity; however, extraordinary people, situations, and objects also inspire me. Therefore, I wouldn’t call it a challenge but rather a way to see the unexpected vision combined with a little drama. We all need a little spice to push ourselves to the highest level or realize the potential danger before it is too late.

The use of white in your art symbolizes the mystery of the universe. How do you think this contributes to the emotional resonance of your paintings?

I like to leave a white page for the viewer, letting them imagine the impossible becoming the possible. You can turn anything into a positive outcome only if you believe and leave room for the magic to happen. Life is mysterious, which is a great thing! Expect the unexpected! A positive state of mind will bring you very far, further than you think. I wish my paintings were an open book to step out of your comfort zone and focus on the main path to bring you to your desired sanctuary.

Your work seems to explore both joy and depth. Can you share how you navigate between these two emotions in your creative process?

Thanks to my ability to travel, I have discovered different cultures, met with exceptional people, and seen the ups and downs that only my brush can describe. You can make it over a night, and you can lose it all over a night. And like the French say: “C’est la vie.” Accept and learn from it. You can change anything you like in your life, you are creating your destiny. A highway with multiple lines, which one would you choose? It might be a difficult decision, but sometimes it’s easier than you think. Back to the animal basics, follow your instinct… and you will find your way.
