Mon Univers est celui de l’enfance, une suave planète où fusionnent la glace et le magma dans les champs de fleurs; on y découvre tour à tour des nappes chocolatées, des strates de groseille et de cassis incrustées de pépites scintillantes, fantasmagoriques…

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.
