Born in Paris, lived and painted there until 1991.
Then settled in Giverny and work on iron :metal plates cut and welded in “ bas-relief “, wall sculptures with a play on shadows and empty spaces, from a primitive reminder of metal to the finess of gold leaves and glazed oil.
A synthetic vision of WATER : « Vertical and Horizontal Waters » and FIRE : « Smoke, Incandescence and Ashes », and EARTH : "Arborescence".
Work on the Elements continues with the representation of the Tree and, through the tree, the Nourishing Earth : the Tree sends down roots, draws strength, reaches upwards, tracing powerful , vigorous lines, branches living through the presence of a single leaf, but also dead branches, cut, hewn, trees struck down, recumbent, a return to the Nourishing Earth. Between Sky and Earth. From vegetal – vegetus, vigorous – the branch and its last leaf suspended to the dead wood, soaring in one last leap before its final plunge against the dying trunk, often represented in the same bas-relief.
“My low-relief sculptures need the support of the white wall without being hung onto the wall, just sufficiently detached, suspended between emptiness and wall, to be able to add a shadow. A play of fullness and emptiness, of shadow and light”
In 2006, work on canvas intervenes at the same time : collages on canvas of raw linen and oil paining..
Horizontality : « Landscapes of Beauce » plowed, scratched fields, overturned earth, limited by the presence of barbed wire, infinite, contained and overflowing, furrows, fences, solitude, immutability, silence, between emptiness and material, between space and work .
Verticality : "Birches", silhouettes drawn up, links between ground and sky.
"From the intense exploration of my garden each new day to the landscapes encountered during my travels. From the least twig swept onto my doorstep to the strong forms of century-old trees. Everything is gesture, everything is line, and everything is energy."
