Acrylique et pastel, 91 cm x 61 cm (36’’ x 24’’).
Peut-on, nous les humains, se dire supérieur à l’animal? C’est une question à laquelle il vaut mieux ne pas répondre trop vite. Si nous sommes fermement convaincus que ces êtres sont moins intelligents que nous, je crois que nous faisons fausse route car sur bien des aspects ils auraient certainement beaucoup à nous apprendre. En sortant de notre schéma humains, de notre étroitesse d’esprit qui ne rend valable que ce qui rentre dans nos concepts « civilisés » comme le rationalisme, la vérité exclusivement démontrée, prouvée, palpable, en sortant de cette étroitesse qui exclut tout mystère qui nous entoure, on ouvre la porte à nos sens qui en disent longs et nous étonnent. Quelle est l’origine de l’instinct dont sont dotés les animaux? Est-ce une sorte de mémoire empirique? Comme le dit Friedrich Nietzsche « Le génie réside dans l’instinct » .
La nuit suivant mon travail sur cette peinture « apprivoise-nous », j’ai rêvé qu’un oiseau charmant et dodu s’invitait dans ma main avec douceur et tendresse. Nous nous sommes appréciés l’un et l’autre et j’ai senti qu’il m’expliquait tout ce que j’avais négligé et pas compris jusqu’alors.

Having completed my artistic studies at the Superior School of Applied Arts in Paris, over the years, I have revived my resources in my Masters in Plastic Arts Education studies and through my commitment to teaching. I then broadened my means of expression and embarked on sculpture, engraving (etching and screen printing). Then comes the exploration of various processes and materials (including plaster and tissue paper) that led me to use mixed techniques. In recent years and still today, I favor acrylic painting which leaves a lot of freedom, and almost always pastels and various grease pencils add to what acrylic cannot.
