- Lives and works in Paris and Burgundy
Fascinated by the world of science, I explore the themes of balance, gravitation and movement. But as an artist, I also feel detached from theories and allow myself to approach with playfulness and poetry the intrigues of the Universe. The result is simple shapes born of geometric games, mobiles at the point of balance constantly lost and regained, stabilizes in tension where all forces cancel each other out…
In search of the relationship to the body, I approach monumental sculpture, installation in an architectural environment, the manipulation of objects.
My concerns are as much about the work as about the space created and the experience given to live; I work for a sculpture of interactions, fallen from the pedestal, accessible and alive.
