“Art figuratif entre académisme et contemporanéité (dans le sens d'une liberté stylistique exacerbée). Peintre plasticien manipulant tous procédés de mise en œuvre pour atteindre un objectif sensible teinté d'esthétisme. L'art doit continuer à véhiculer une émotion.”
"Figurative art between academicism and contemporaneity (in the sense of heightened stylistic freedom). A plastic artist manipulating all implementation processes to achieve a sensitive and aesthetic objective. Art must continue to convey an emotion."
