Je suis arbre.
Au fil des saisons, c’est sur ma terre natale
que mes branches se façonnent et grandissent.
Enfant d’un pays, pour prospérer, j’ai un besoin
fondamental d’y être amarré et ma ramure
s’étoffant, mes racines y pénètrent chaque jour
un peu plus.
Au-delà de cet attachement primordial, il y a
entre mes branches et mes racines une relation
absolue d’interdépendance, les unes ne se
concevant pas sans les autres.
Similitude et opposition, visualisées ici par
le jeu du découpage, comme le yin et le yang,
engendrant sans doute équilibre et sérénité.
L’oiseau, lui, m’apporte les nouvelles du monde,
m’informe de l’ailleurs et cela suffit à me faire
voyager.
ROOTING
I am a tree.
Through the seasons, my branches shape
themselves and grow on my native land. Home
grown, in order to thrive, I organically need to be
tied to it. And as my foliage thickens, my roots
enter the ground a little more each say.
Beyond this basic attachment, my branches
and my roots foster an absolute interwoven
relationship, deeply dependent on one another.
Similarity and opposition, rendered by the cutout
technique, like Yin and Yang, giving birth to
balance and serenity.
As to the bird, he brings me news from the world,
informs me about elsewhere, and this is enough
to make me wander

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.
