Imprints of Eternity
Over the millennia, the Earth has been shaped by water, wind and the fire of volcanoes. What emanates from its natural sites we receive unconsciously.
I try to restore this powerful latent energy in all its diversity.
I compose allegories of Nature in which each element comes to life: the mountain and its majestic relief, the sea and its white foam, the volcanoes with their striking contrasts, and finally the deep forests where moss and lichen intermingle.
These imaginary landscapes are symbols of the world's beauty and diversity.
In addition to these 4 creative themes, I feel the need to depict allegories of human beings, women and couples. In this quest, I seek out soft, round, organic forms, inspired by my admiration for the sculptures of Jean ARP, to whom I wish to pay homage.
Through the contrast between the rich, silky glazes and the rough, matte material of the mineral support, these landscapes call forth plays of light and shadow, which oppose and reveal each other in turn, affirming the vibrations that are signs of life and its dynamics. Through them, I seek a space of quiet coherence where the finite and the infinite, intimacy and immensity can come together. I'd like to make this force felt and shared through these allegorical landscapes, which would be like a fundamental point of meditation.
- These glazes, the fruit of personal research, have given rise to 6 articles published since 2011 in "La Revue de la Céramique et du Verre" (see "Press" section).
