A painting created through free improvisation. Action painting set to the music of David Bowie.

Inspired by the opening scene of the film Prometheus, where a being from the future arrives on Earth before life existed and falls down a waterfall. During the fall, the being decomposes, and somehow its genetic material is scattered through the water. From this material, different life forms begin to form.

Always being tested, the environment selects the one that adapts best. After millions of years of evolution, each species is a masterpiece of Nature, a perfectly adapted piece that is nevertheless tremendously fragile.

Landscape, Nature, beings of this world and others... all filtered through a dream and built on a wall marked by graffiti, dirt 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...
