"I spend many hours painting, but always in daylight to be as close as possible to pure color. By deploying my gestures on canvases placed on the ground, I let the colors flow or splash freely, without controlling the drawing and without any preconceived idea of a finished work. I thus leave room for the unexpected and chance. I do not like to be constrained by the frame of a canvas and work on several canvases at the same time. My approach has evolved. Initially, I started with sketches or drafts and gradually detached myself from them: I started with the meaning to construct signs. Today I start with the conception of signs and then give them meaning. It is an open work that the viewer can read freely.

I have always been strongly inspired by music and dance for the dynamism, spontaneity, and improvisation they can communicate, whether traditional (in Asia) or more contemporary (jazz and swing). I express my emotions to the rhythm of the music I listen to while painting. The colors vibrate, creating visual and emotional tension.

The many years spent in Korea allowed me to integrate this relationship with emptiness, which is essential to Far Eastern aesthetics and conducive to creation and introspection. The contrasts of a culture combining modernity and tradition, strength and sensitivity, led me to the bright and vibrant Korean primary colors, the gestures of shaman dances and the finesse of Asian calligraphy. I let myself be guided by the imagination in the meanders of colors like a shaman implores the spirits. My canvas is a floating space where air and energy circulate, this breath which carries within it the essence of life. The support then enters into a relationship with the shapes and colors, creating light and dynamic compositions, based on the search for balance between the body, emotions and the mind. I experience the act of painting a bit like a trance.

I have always sought to bring color, matter, and shapes to life by combining them. I combine the fluidity of transparent colored inks with the ductility of acrylic paints. From a stain that I spread and transform, I let my reverie and imagination run wild to create an image. I do not seek to control the contrasts of lines and colors; I create an instinctive and abstract work. My paintings are a burst of inner colors, a vibrant space of life carried by the contrast of inks: black inks and lighter inks come alive amidst the void of the white of the canvas.

In group exhibitions, I always find it difficult to identify with a specific movement: abstract expressionism, lyrical abstraction, informal painting? In fact, I recognize myself a little in everything, as my creations evolve. I seek, by letting my instincts flow, to understand myself and at the same time to understand the world. I often want to highlight the therapeutic virtues of painting. Painting always gives me pleasure even if sometimes the result does not satisfy me. In this way, the act of painting heals us of our frustrations. It is an inner journey which, by distancing us from the material that surrounds us, brings us closer to the essential within us."
