This work focuses on relationships between shape, color, material and their support through an economy of radical interventions.

My painting practice is rooted in the search for a correlation between gesture and material, a fine cohabitation between intuition, luck and skills. My paintings are the result of a process where action, free exploration and the search for new ways to work with material prevail. This assembly work takes shape from one gesture to another, each in response to the previous one.

In my paintings, color is directly associated with gesture. This presence of the gesture participates to a preference for uncertainty and for the support of the body in the development of the paintings. In my work, awareness of the gesture and openness to the unexpected are balanced. The work is often the result of unexpected maneuvers.

To counteract my lyrical interventions and further exploit the structural power of color, I perform certain gestures mechanically. The roller allows me to broaden the spectrum of my interventions and to produce new, unpredictable and surprising relationships, unusual associations of colors, shapes and textures. This tool which, by its width, modifies the scale of my gestures allows me to apply in the same momentum sometimes 2 or 3 colors.
