Painting created through free improvisation. Action painting with music by Arcade Fire (specifically the song Deep Blue).

Humans, technology, nature, evolution, music, the passage of time.

We didn't have cell phones, we listened to music on cassette tapes, where world chess champions beat the machines. In the blink of an eye, everything changes, technology changes us, everything moves so fast. We're human, we're just animals, even if it doesn't seem like it.

Everything filtered through a dream and built on a wall marked by graffiti and the passage of time, in a big city.

We, who are Nature but have become something else.

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...
