In 1985, during my first exhibitions, I met Édouard PIGNON, the great colorist painter and friend of PICASSO and the Surrealists. Thanks to him, I understood that a painter, as opposed to painting what he sees, only has good reason to paint what he doesn't see but aspires to see. 

I've remained faithful to this credo; my work has evolved in the direction of purifying shapes and colors: the treatment favors visual and sensitive impact. My work is a quest for human identity, a reflection of our society that necessarily involves the negation of perspective - a veritable social cage. 

So, while today's production and commissioning in the visual arts oscillates between responses to collective, state, corporatist and commercial issues, it seems to me that the challenge - for a visual artist - would be to return to a more human, intimate aesthetic, one that can escape the restrictive virtues of the "decorative" or "personalization in artistic added value".

Transversal, multidisciplinary, art creation - as confrontation - must find its way between pop or elitist consumerism.
