« My work is an invitation to experience perception. »
For many years, my work has revolved around wood in the form of geometric trompe-l'œil, where perspective serves as both a construction tool and a way to question perception. My creations are presented as wall surfaces, yet they fully reveal themselves through the movement of the viewer’s gaze and body.
Since moving to the Gard region in 2016, my work has been enriched by materials deeply connected to their territory. I discovered the history of the "de Nîmes" fabric, which became Denim, and gradually integrated it into my pieces. In 2019, during local Heritage Days, another material emerged through the history of my village: Cardet. The name is directly linked to the work of wool—derived from the verb "to card," it evokes the ancestral gesture of aligning fibers to create thread.
This focus on local materials, both geographically and historically, is rooted in a commitment to upcycling. I work with reclaimed wood from old constructions and vintage denim that I collect myself. Repurposing these materials allows me to limit industrial processing and ground the artwork in a real, tangible, and almost familiar context.
At the heart of this process, I employ the charred wood technique (Shou Sugi Ban). Through fire, the material does not disappear; it transforms and strengthens. This resilience of the wood —marked by its past but sublimated by carbonization— is a vital component of my compositions.
My current practice is the culmination of a journey where the eye and the ear intersect. Trained at the Design Academy Eindhoven and HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, I spent years as a sound designer. This expertise, which earned me a Best Original Score award from filmmaker Costa-Gavras, taught me to perceive space as a vibrating medium. Today, this "ear" guides my hand: my works integrate a deep reflection on sound waves and sensory comfort, evolving toward acoustic solutions where design meets architectural necessity.
The notions of "perspective" and "point of view" are deeply ambivalent, crossing geometry as well as history and human relations. I often introduce my work with a simple expression: "Sometimes, you have to change your point of view to see things differently." In my work, an element perceived as small can become larger than another depending on the angle. Converging lines can transform into diverging ones through a simple displacement. This play remains purely geometric, yet it echoes how we perceive the world: the works are hung like paintings, but experienced like sculptures.
