The phantasmagorical universe I create in my paintings is a living territory where chimeric creatures merge with the mineral and vegetal landscape, in constant flux between solid and liquid states of being. My inspiration comes from direct observation of nature as much as its representations scattered throughout the history of painting, cinema and video games. The slowness of oil painting allows me to escape the immediacy of our contemporary image-saturated world and the frenzy of their circulation. In that space, a dialogue emerges with the forms and colors, a conversation whose endpoint is a never-ending process of discovery. I do not title my paintings, as doing so would be tantamount to claiming these dreamed-up territories for myself. I want to invite the viewer through a portal, allowing them to wander through a world untouched by artificial constructs, opening up a field of primordial sensory interpretation unfetterd by language.
