Aiming at the apprehension of this strange experience that is life, I direct my approach towards the exploration of the physical and metaphysical world through various structures. Sculpture - the one that connects to the here and which implies a temporal aspect - constitutes, for myself, a privileged meeting with this world yet to be understood.
During the research process, I discovered a special interest for certain shapes, - for instance, the cube which delimits a defined space and draws attention to its contents - for some matters, -like wood or wax of which I appreciate the sensitive qualities as well as the semantic potential - and for some types of interventions - more specifically the assemblage or, on the contrary, the fragmentation.
It results into artworks that question reality and its representation: two dimensions that conditions existence.
