Art will never excuse the obscure face of humanity.  Sometimes it makes it possible to denounce it and continue to believe in its future, to dream and to be filled with wonder at its capacities. 

It reveals also the beauty and the brittleness of the world which shelters us.

I paint for a very long time and I have the impression "to have always known", even if I know that this is obviously false, which another "impression confirms to me":  that to always better do! Perhaps this is quite simply the feeling to look further into each time a little more knowledge and the practice of the only language which really corresponds to me, that which passes by my brushes. 

I do not practise it unfortunately every day;  however the needs for living never move away me from there completely.  This language is a life line.  It is my breathing.

I exposed, a little, but I hardly have time to devote to the steps necessary.  The Internet offers the hope to exchange to me despite everything. 

This time, I thus devote it to this knowledge and this deepening.  I work to tell the truth slowly, without seeking the performance, a subject after the other, hoping for each time to better give to understand and especially to dream.
