Dans l’insouciance de sa petite enfance,
sa paire de brodequins a couru et beaucoup
joué. Elle a tapé dans des ballons, grimpé aux
arbres, pataugé dans les flaques d’eau et sali
le parquet de la maison familiale.
Et puis ses godillots insoumis ont fini par
donner des coups de pied dans les murs
en signe de réprobation.
Alors, plutôt que de continuer à souiller
ses chaussures sur la terre et à les meurtrir
sur les obstacles de la vie, il a préféré les
enlever et sous ses pieds nus, mettre du ciel…
Il a trouvé l’échappatoire.
Depuis, sur l’astre des nuits, de son souffle
apaisé naissent des bulles parmi les étoiles,
comme autant de nouveaux mondes plus purs,
plus transparents, plus irisés et plus légers
que celui d’en bas.
ESCAPE
In his carefree childhood, his pair of laced boots
ran and played a lot. They kicked the ball,
climbed up trees, waded in puddles and dirtied
the wooden floors of the family house.
Little by little, his rebellious boots ended up
kicking walls in protest.
So, instead of keeping on soiling his shoes on
the ground and beating them on life’s obstacles,
he chose to take them off and paint some blue
sky under his bare feet…
He found the escape way.
Since then, in the moonshining starry night,
he has been blowing bubbles from his soothed
breath, inventing new worlds, purer, more
transparent, more iridescent and lighter
than the one below.

After using paper as a support to place my photographic images on, I now use it as a material capable of being shaped to build an ephemeral, fragile and improbable, poetic and metaphorical world.
I am a sculptor of stories. In a refined visual language, I play with white paper to tell the things of life in the form of compositions with immediate poetry.
Why white paper?
I actually use Canson Montval white paper of different weights for my paintings. Why white? Because white symbolizes purity but also because it allows the viewer to let their imagination run wild. However, I am experimenting with other types of paper, particularly on my installations.
What are your essential techniques and instruments?
My tools are basic: pencils, rulers, scissors, precision cutter (x-acto) and the essential cutting mats, pliers, white glue. Added to this are a few small accessories diverted from their primary function which make my life easier to better shape the paper.
What message do you think you convey through your paper works?
My paper creations tell stories inspired by our lives, expressed in a visual language that I hope is as universal as possible. I tinge them with a flavor of happiness, smiles, daydreams and hope. Paper, with its fragility but also its strength, allows this and I believe in deep analogies between this material and the metaphorical universes that I like to share. What motivates me in reality is being able to arouse maximum emotions in others with a minimum of means.
