My
sculptures are a unique reflection on the relationship between
the original and primordial man and nature. Using the imagination
of the myth, I create works of hybrid apes by engaging me in
facial distortion. I established connections or chains of associations
between men and beasts, plants and men, men and objects. My approach
is to create an impact of paradoxical and reversible images,
consisting items diverted from their purposes and offering the
possibility of multiple interpretations. I created an imaginary
language mingling the animal, the community, the sacred...
I
feel close to the lyrical and poetic universe of artists like
Louise Bourgeois, whose picturesque sculptures evoke a metaphor
as well as the nature of the human figure. I feel also close
to Max Ernst, for his hallucinatory technique where the accidental
and deliberate get together to seek the powers of imagination
and generate hybrids.
Nature is for me a reserve of
forms; my sculptures are a metaphor that I would like to enroll
in the landscape. I use the language of appropriate materials
which to me seems very important to respect. Sensitive to the
full and massive forms and pure and immediate expressions, my
work is the synthesis of several processes: molded, cast, carved,
scraped. I invent these transactions from my own impulses.
