Approach

A sensory exploration

Read the biography

My work focuses on creating immersive sensory experiences between the viewer and the chromatic universe I unfold through my paintings.

My compositions aim to free colour from all figurative representation, making room for a direct and pure interaction. In this dialogue, colour becomes a living substance, an echo of nature in its most essential dimension: the shimmer of light on water, the translucence of foliage pierced by the sun, the weight of a heavy sky or the breathing of damp earth. My works do not seek to reproduce nature but to reveal its sensitive energy, its invisible force.

I am interested in how the imagination of viewers reacts to these fields of colour. Some project shapes onto them, as an attempt to anchor or to understand, while others surrender to the experience: an immersion that is lived rather than described. In this apparent simplicity lies the greatest complexity.

Calling my works "Composition" suggests both an inner construction and an opening: a space for interpretation where the viewer regains the freedom to perceive colour as a natural element, a raw material connecting them to their own imagination and to the environment around them. The techniques I use aim to minimise any visible trace of my intervention. My creative process deliberately fades away, making it almost impossible to guess the origin, the steps or the tools used. This absence of a technical signature acts as an analogy with nature itself, where everything seems to "go without saying" while the forces at play remain hidden.

The work thus exists on its own, as an autonomous presence, between the silence of matter and the attention of the viewer. It stands at the border between art and nature: not in reproduction, but in the experience of a living chromatic presence that breathes and evolves in the gaze of the one who contemplates it.

« Remember that a painting, before being a battle horse, a nude woman or some anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order. »
