For several years the male theme has accompanied him in his inspirations.
They come from everywhere, from the street as well as from his imagination, everything unfolds like a beam of light, a play of kaleidoscopes! the male body in its grace, in its robustness, in its power and in the extreme softness that emanates from it, in the intuitive scent behind its envelope. Like a screen that we open and close at will, a world hidden and revealed. A bright and dark world, a sometimes ambivalent world All these contrasts accompany the contemplation, the gaze and the hand invite themselves to the caress…. Black, gold and vanilla are the inseparable colors. Light unfolds beyond the mystery; sometimes we can glimpse the male body in abstract landscapes.
Everything comes down to invitation, detachment, sensuality – to an intimate conversation. Wrapping cardboard and wool embroidery, new techniques, marry with the paintings to better reveal the sensitive or raw side of these men who are not afraid.
