My work mainly focus on interaction with colors, figures and patterns.
I explore differs medias: painting, drawing, printing, wheat paste, graffiti...and I m exploring relations to space, pattern and people. Being published and interact with other artist would give me a strong surrounding of feedbacks, inspiration, debates that seems very stimulating. Also a magazine like yours has something special that you cannot find everywhere. So I believe the mix of all of it would give to me an incredible opportunity to explore in a new way my process.
in my work i explore the status of women through ages, era, representation, and relations between people. i use advertisement images, or illustration as icon of a our timeline.
I always use pattern to associate images and characters to put them on the same matter. we stand for us, and pattern is our avatar in a way.
i explore relations, representation, and colors through painting. i try to propose on different level reactions to our iconic world. images appears to me as narration the same way people or patterns do. therefore i have to balance size scales, colors to compose and expose new ideas in painting.
pattern is used as a reflection on image, and drawing. As if each silhouette or portrait could be the same value.
we identify bodies as part of common knowledge, intimacy is gone. pattern is a disguise to cover or enlighten some other parts and use lines in other ways.
