My life started on a pretty volcanic pebble with generous nature in 1969, the year when man first set foot outside of his planet.
I’ve always wondered about existence. As a child I spent a lot of time listening to the sound of the rain, watching the mirrored drops slide over the taro leaves. I followed the ants to their hiding places. Today I still marvel at the multicolored variations of the butterfly scales, of the sky studded with millions of worlds that humanity is about to discover. But among all this beauty, there's the one which the beings around us are capable of, in their aspirations, their struggles and the qualities that they bring to bear.
My drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations have always been the continuation of my many contemplations and my explorations of universe, nature and human being.
I am looking for traits of what brings us all together, from one end to the other of the cosmos, because I have, every moment, this intuition that we are 1, here, elsewhere, everywhere, yesterday, now, eternally . For me, respect for differences, cultures and beliefs, as varied as they are, is inseparable from this universality that unites us, sometimes in spite of ourselves.
