Painting created through free improvisation. Action painting with music by Ben Harper.

Everything changed when humans mastered agriculture and livestock farming. The first Neolithic people. We began to prosper more rapidly, populations increased, and we became sedentary.
We depended on the weather for our crops, and religion became important.

We thought we were powerful, but we were (and still are) very fragile. Living beings, ephemeral, insignificant. Just monkeys who'd gotten ahead.

Gestural, intuitive painting that lets things happen and relies on what emerges. Taking advantage of the unexpected and accepting the consequences.

The unknown, that which slips through our fingers... Nature, antiquity, the earthly and the spiritual.

The need to tell stories, to leave a mark, to understand the world, which is always both modern and ancient.

Nothing matters much... Working with a lost look in my eyes...
