" The outdoors and the human body sustain my visual universe as a never-ending source of inspiration. The theme is a beginning point from which I escape to the most delicate by investigating the fluid substance of the glazes. The basic concept, defined by the drawing and the composition, eventually gives way during the work to the conversation of the colours and their strength, which develop the work with all of its complexities. The colourful exchanges that result from an optical and non-additive mixing of colours fascinate me, which is why I utilise shades by translucent superimpositions that expose new tones, where the pattern disappears in favour of light. My sensitivity to frailty and fineness compels me to sublimate reality in order to extract its lyrical character. "
