APPROACH
"Since I started, years 1965-1970, I worked my experiences in figuration, abstraction, concepts, appropriations, miscegenation ... with the same interest ... looking for something like a WAY Communication in which I sneak.
Remember that my DNA is Métis: I think it goes without saying that I go to in search of "Origin"
The main message that I propose to the public it is my own questioning.
Man of the twentieth and twenty-first century, the meaning of my work is in introspection .... art (and myself somehow), I do not erase the past (from Giotto to Marcel Duchamp) I ask what happened, I liken, I Métis, I recreated the coordinates, the shakes ... where the plurality of my trials, my back and comes in different styles at different times ... often with a random chronology.
Offset work, this time to face at the time when the impact of contemporary society is daily self with its positive or negative resonance, hourly ... the speed of the Internet and communication that we requires rapid, intense reactions often epidermal.
These are often pieces that I propose, paint chips, pieces of technology. Recognized, known and unknown, shifted or not, but I feel necessary to me and especially "loaded" reference, feelings, and actions ...

I create tracks, places to think or feel ... and each table, especially collages and abstract works become "polysemic" ... in which I take issue instigator of thinking, making proposals with my writings painter
Be the viewer (if he wants) to play its role viewer, analyst, I would almost detective to enter my world .... which I hope is (or will be) his as
"Where the gaze is" which is the title of one of my work defines me in some way and can embody a kind of summary of my "Way"
How? How?
front of my canvas, I almost always start to launch a proposal .... a line or a smudge, a vacuum, dynamic .... And the game or agreements settle on something ... I cause I set my dialogue ... with paint.
presence of my mixing is certain and it is there that I found: This explains largely my life, considering the solitude in which I worked for over fifty years in my workshop.
Quit my table when I realize that something is happening. "Where the gaze is ..."
