—————–
How would you describe yourself and your particular artistic style?
I’m an artist, and my work is influenced by my life, my encounters and my travels.
After meeting writers, I created book-related objects.
Peru and the Nile have inspired me. Influenced by the pigeon-farming tradition in my region, I’ve painted pigeons; for an exhibition in Doha, falcons; and, used tracing paper for the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. A constantly changing, varied oeuvre.
My current work is more focused on colour and a kind of abstraction.
A common thread running through my work: “Always searching for the connection between the mind, the hand, and the material”.
Why have you chosen to support research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease?
I was impressed by Patrick Demoucelle’s article in Le Vif this summer. It made me want to help the charity. I’m ready to help DPC organise an exhibition/sale of my work in order to raise funds.
What is your favourite motto/advice for life?
“Always in search of the absolute.”
