Artistic approach
I’ve always had a deep passion for art and creation; while my head is rooted in science and business. A strong desire to succeed, combined with a healthy dose of perfectionism, led me to complete my studies and pursue a degree in composite materials (mechanical engineering). As someone who finishes everything I set out to do, I graduated in 1989 and worked in the composites industry until 2007 in engineering and marketing, while continuing to paint part-time.
Since 1990, I have been creating distinctive works using composite/aeronautical materials. Most of my work is abstract and semi-figurative. I’ve found my balance in the power, color and texture that emerge from my canvases. My aim is to share with the public a feeling of well-being, dynamism and letting go. The latter state brings a clear openness of mind, bringing yin and yang together, confronting femininity and masculinity, and all the dualities that characterize my work.
The change and challenges raised by the pandemic have been a positive and inspiring turning point in my artistic life. The pressure to perform has disappeared, leaving more time to explore and create freely. My latest collection of faces features old souls of powerful women who have gone through troubling times and emerged even more beautiful, grown up and inspiring.
