My painting is my complete freedom.

My world is not meant to stand still. It changes, transforms and explores different forms, colours, figures and stories.

UNDERWATER WORLDS — Isafara

Sometimes it all begins underwater.

Underwater worlds hold a special place in my work. I love imagining this silent, mysterious world where shapes move, colours blend and reality becomes something entirely different.

Fish, plants, figures and imaginary creatures meet in compositions where painting becomes a world to explore.

Beneath the surface, anything can exist.

It is a space of freedom, imagination and colour.

ISAYOTTAS — Isafara

Then painting begins to occupy more space.

ISAYOTTAS are large-format works I conceived to give my imagination more room.

Some measure 1.50 × 1.50 metres, 2 metres or more.

Some are painted on both sides.

The word ISAYOTTA is my own invention. It did not exist before my paintings. I created it to name works that can be large, surprising, colourful, strange or simply free.

An ISAYOTTA does not have to follow a rule.

It can begin with an idea and evolve while I paint.

It can become something other than what I originally imagined.

I paint, and sometimes the painting makes decisions with me.

TENISAFARA — Isafara

And painting can go even further.

TENISAFARA are my monumental works.

They can reach 10 metres in length and 1.60 metres in height.

But a TENISAFARA is not simply a very long painting.

It is made up of five paintings forming one continuous work.

You can discover it as a whole, like a long pictorial journey.

But it can also be divided into five independent paintings.

Each section can then live its own life while remaining part of the original work.

I love this possibility: creating an immense work, then seeing it differently, separating and recomposing it.

PEINDRE, TOUT SIMPLEMENT

Underwater worlds, ISAYOTTAS, TENISAFARA and all my other paintings belong to the same journey.

I can change format, subject, colours or painting technique.

I can move from a small canvas to a ten-metre work.

I can be figurative, expressive, poetic, strange or simply feel like trying something new.

I do not want to confine myself to a definition.

I am a chameleon painter.

My painting can change its appearance.

But it is always driven by the same thing:

freedom.

And deep down, what matters most to me is very simple:

to paint.
