Suprarealist artist, member of the Foundation.
Presentation
Born in 1949 in Saint-Dié des Vosges, I had my first exhibition at thirteen with the Groupe Artistique Vosgien.
Self-taught, my passion developed from a very young age.
Around 18 I felt an irresistible attraction
for the surrealists and I put my steps
in those of a giant: Salvador Dali.
During my professional life in the industry I never departed from my artistic passion.
My approach
The need to create presents itself to me as a powerful frenzy.
Painting is the salt of my existence and through each creation,
I have the feeling of discovering a hidden side of my consciousness.
So I become the explorer of these unspeakable frontiers,
that with each creation I push a little further.
Discovering them is just mental gymnastics.
Transposing them onto the canvas is just technique.
Being able to convey them is just a form of language.
But all of this together makes a wonderful alchemy.
Looking does not force us to understand.
But to look over the work,
it is already rubbing shoulders with the artist's thoughts
in this very special moment that is creation.
Discover – Share – Transmit
All these could only be words, if they were not
charged with the deep meaning of our intentions
to make the world a better place,
to help us understand the fragile and sublime beauty of our earth.
So with these three words and all that they can contain of meaning and force,
let us try to leave to our future generations,
if not a “Paradise”, at least a livable universe.
