Life, customs, tastes, colours, differences.
People interweave, cross paths, connect with each other, and connect us to others.
These works invite us to question.
Through an inventive, sincere and environmentalist approach, a personal language emerges that asserts itself through the meticulous selection of skillfully assembled materials. It takes digging deep into one's own creative genius to conjure up a unique work that can rise above the ordinary.
The plaits, fabrics and woven boxes symbolise the intertwined links that make up the oneiric, poetic beauty of abstract, colourful forms.
Silence itself is disquieting.
Building one's identity.
Be YOU.
