MY APPROACH

My artistic practice is a vibrant quest, an exploration of color as sensitive territory, a medium of emotion, thought, and dialogue with the world. For years, I have studied its nuances, contrasts, and symbolism, in both physical and metaphysical dimensions. Each hue becomes for me an infinite territory of experimentation, a prism through which I reinvent my relationship to the subjects that move me: the impact of urbanization on living beings, the fragility of northern ecosystems, or our search for meaning in an era of accelerated mutations.

I see in it a universal language, capable of transcending borders: whether in a chromatic geography where colors erode like an ecosystem, or in the muted tension of an overheated society. Between pigment strata and digital flows, my palette becomes a sensitive cartography, at times wounded, at times resilient, of the invisible balances that bind us to the living.

This research is grounded in a reflection on our time. How can color embody ecological urgency? How does it modulate our perception of the real or the artificial? By manipulating its expressive possibilities, I seek to reveal precarious equilibriums, dissonances, or harmonies that question our relationship to the world. The canvas becomes a laboratory where each work is a visual hypothesis: an attempt to grasp the ungraspable, whether the memory of vanished landscapes or the fever of digital networks.

My creative process, nourished by a back-and-forth between intuition and rigor, between painterly gesture and technology, opens pathways to a resolutely contemporary imagination. A painting that does not merely represent, but pulses, like color itself, always in motion, always in the making.
