Artist statement

What lies behind or in front of us is of little importance compared to what we have within us.” R. W. Emerson

I paint from an inner listening. A quiet voice that waited patiently, until I chose to slow down and hear it. This voice guides my gestures, my choices, my way of being in the world. It transforms me as much as it transforms the canvas.

I believe we are all born to create. Within us live beauty, energy and invisible landscapes.
My work is a way of making visible what cannot be seen. I paint slowly, intuitively, with simplicity. Layer after layer, time leaves its trace. I paint what I lack, and what I long for : calm, light, presence. Each painting is an inner landscape. An impression. An emotion.

I believe it is time to return to the poetry of simple, essential things.
