PERSONAL STATEMENT

i understand that any work of art is a way to show people what the artist has seen in prior.

i deal with banal objects which I find - or do they find me ? - in nature, on the streets, at home … anywhere.

i take them off their utilitarian sense and put them into my aesthetic sense: inside my “black and white language“, matching the scene i have created in the photographic studio with the image i had behind my eyes.

i believe that this action allows who sees my pieces to taste an unexpected feeling about the quotidian. i do not want to change life nor the world with my art, but intend to make a person look through the trivial and see something else.
