Philosophy of my art
When I paint on different types of printed paper it is not for decorative purposes (similar to the cubists who lined their canvases with newspaper fragments around 1912), but rather because their words or lines modify the interpretation of what I paint. Placing a blooming apple tree on a subway map is not just a landscape in spring – I superimpose and oppose two worlds. Two ways of living, or two ways of surviving. I try to stage divergent concepts and ideas through visual means

In the same vein as my paintings and drawings, working on recycled materials, I mainly engrave with dry point on material that represent traces of our everyday life of the end of the 20th century: CDs, bank or telephone cards and even on parts of oxidized gutter.
