Artists Statement: When I paint, I invent stories, I go
into my own bubble and everything else ceases to exist. I have an
incredible ability to concentrate when I paint, which is quite
frustrating to those close to me. I often use my dreams as a source of
inspiration. When I get up in the morning, I go straight to my studio to
paint. My inner life is quite inhabited and emotionally rich, so it is
quite natural that my painting expresses a certain type of sensitivity.
However, I have to be in a positive mood when I paint. I have to be able
to listen to my inner voice and follow my inner inspirations. This is
how I succeed in painting the pieces that most move me. I personally
prefer a diversified approach, at least in terms of the themes and
subjects I treat. I am quite open to change: the new and the unforeseen
do not daunt me.
