I look at several ways of expressing “Féminité” and sensuality, another vision of life through dreams and imagination. I’d love my work to be able to cast a spell on the viewer and tell him things he does not know about himself through a fascinating exchange.I want to transcribe the way women feel; trace their inner emotions on canvas. I think some women live in a fantasy world where they would love to be someone else (thinner, blonder, taller, more beautiful, happier…) whereas some face real problems of oppression, domination and abuse. I work on this through a de-structuration of the figure. Either as a simplification of shapes and figures as in the silhouettes series or as denigrating the body structure by amplifying one of its elements as it is the case with the “petit bout de femme” series, where “bits of women” are seen as single entities and pit together will never be seen as a whole, symbolising the un-ease many women feel in a society dominated by men and power.Most of my work is expressionist or fauvist based on the human figure abstracted in some cases. The mediums I use the most are Oil painting and etching.
