I believe that art can heal.


I believe that the symbolic level is a universal meeting platform. From there, I paint my perception of the "invisible", feelings and thoughts, energy and sensations, to show, to share and to inspire. These images come from within, sometimes completely improvised, and communicate at a subconscious level.


I believe that our bodies are our first homes, shells, vehicles, that our senses allow our primal contact with the "outside world" and other beings, but our anxious minds often mislead us and disconnect us from what's real.

I believe that too often, in our large cities, where organization and control keep on growing, nature and individualism are suppressed. I believe that my paintings playfully render a nurturing sensuality.

Through my work, I want to invite the viewers to open themselves up, to dream, to trust, to feel and to play. I address whoever is willing to explore life and their own creative journey. My art is both a daily exploration of the mystery of life, and an act of love.
