Approach:
Between dreams and reality, I create pictures which look like they escaped from imagination, which disturb the categories of the material world. The better to get back to our world however, with eyes fed by unusual yet familiar visions. Thus I explore the poetic value of the collective unconscious: each picture relies on classical visual codes and symbolism to express universal feelings. I’m working on how our objective external world and our subjective inner realities can intertwine; between private and public, our world keeps on being reinvented.
