"My works are the reverberation (controlled or not) of my psyche. I am really passionate and intrigued by the conscious and the unconscious. My works become the receptacle of my thought, mind and soul. I build my own “inscapes” using simplicity, modernism and purity.

"My works are the reverberation (controlled or not) of my psyche. I am really passionate and intrigued by the conscious and the unconscious. My works become the receptacle of my thought, mind and soul. I build my own “inscapes” using simplicity, modernism and purity.
Most of my conceptual ideas are bubbling, effervescent in my mind. Taking a shower is becoming a creative process. Ideas are raining. I turn off the water and I have a clear picture of my projects. Quickly, I draw a draft with annotations. After this step, my new creations are printed in my memories. The final step is to make it real, with all kinds of mediums: virtual 3D, fabrics, wood, drawings, paintings, and photographs.
I often work on several bodies of work concurrently, because ideas come in waves. As soon as possible, I take my previous notebook, and develop this outstanding project. By presenting my works, I share with you a part of my mental intimacy."
