Statement

My artistic practice focuses on exploring the universality of art, promoting individual reflection on the environment and one’s own identity. I seek to transport the viewer to a visual universe which seeks the sublime through a sensory experience. Initially, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the pure hedonism of the experience by experimenting with light and space. However, my aim goes further: I intend to provoke profound thought on the physical phenomena that surround us, by challenging perception and by questioning our understanding of the world.

I believe communication is the most powerful tool an artist has. Having a utopian vision of art, I aspire to develop a universal artistic language that transcends barriers of gender, social position, ideology, culture and religion. This inclusive and poetic language draws on the natural tools present in our universe, such as physics and mathematics, to explore the connection between humans and nature, thus awakening primordial and profound sensations.

Encompassed in my research of the inclusive and universal, I prioritise the development of the playful and the participatory. These concepts seek to reconnect us with the childlike essence within us all, to free us from social conditioning and encourage the development of our own subjectivities. The interaction between the object, space and the individual plays a key role in my exploration of the concept of the public, as a habitable and welcoming space, committing myself to the creation of contemporary, unconditioned communities.

The mysteries that surround us have always been a driving force in human exploration and the quest for knowledge. From the farthest reaches of the universe to the tiniest corners of matter, this uncertainty about our existence fuels my work. Through concepts such as the ethereal, the intangible and the immaterial, I aim to create a sense of mystery that connects us to the depths of our individual spirituality.
