Artist Statement:

I am fascinated by painting a fantasy word with surreal figures to express the ambiguity of the feelings that we can have while being confronting to the daily struggles of this world.
I am sometimes surreal, sometimes expressive, I find myself unconsciously in these two pictorial aspects, in search of strong sensations I gives birth to a mythical and intriguing style that illustrates a dreamlike universe, populated by characters and scenes that are halfway between this real world And another imaginary world, where there is no boundaries, no rules, and no physical law restrictions. To allow more space and more freedom, to expand the whole word that seems too tight to my perceptions. To create images that transmit deep messages, images with poetic and philosophic concepts of the human’s existence.
