Your style in 3 words?
X mix media
Your weakness? Your strength?
disorganized/disorganized
What makes you different?
my DNA I think
When did you decide to become an artist?:
I did not decide to become an artist, I started to make images and accumulate them and that for more than 10 years.
Do you choose your art form, or does the form choose you?
It’s a mixture of both I think!
What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?
What I like most in the creation is the moment when I realize that I am going to keep an image, that I begin to like it, the rest of the time I destroy them.
What surprised you most about your first art shows?
I prefer to do my stuff at home, alone.
Someone else’s work that inspired or inspires you …
This month I watch a lot Mark Cohen,Hans Hartung, Valerie Jouve, Clément Cogitore, Lucas Dupuy.
Who would you like to work with someday and why?
Francis Ford Coppola, complicated I think – To be able to feel the madness of creation, I strongly advise seeing
Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse
A new project coming up or an idea you want to work on?
Not necessarily, to continue to create, not to let life’s obligations close my eyes.
Finish the sentence,, More important than my career is …”
Trying to be the best version of myself with my family and friends and drinking good wine with them.
2023: Where are we going?
Still spinning 365.2425 days like crazy in the interstellar void on the edge of our Galaxy…
Do you think about time as an artist?
I am rather obsessed with time in my artistic practice, I use a lot of documents that have a history, currently, I buy stock of slides of deceased people on eBay, resold by the family at the time of emptying the house,
I like to dive into the life of these unknown people, creating a work from their photos, a temporal link is created between me and the people who died.
When the going gets tough …
…take a deep breath, and reactivate your account on World of Warcraft.
Put on your future vision glasses: What direction is our generation moving in, what will our world look like in 50 years?
Blue screen of death
What would you do if you could change the World?
Remove Adam and Eve, leave the Earth to the animals, letting cats rule the world!
What does freedom mean when it comes to art?
Art is the freedom of the soul
If the universe is everything and it’s expanding, what is it expanding into?
The universe is a simulation of another simulation, of another simulation… x π
