"Communicate" is one of my paintings in oil on wood, which is among my favourite environment , the feel of wood and its aptitude to suck the oil in so quickly makes it possible to work quite fast for an oil painting and the textures can be developed to the infinite, I am trying here to depict an attempt to communicate between people , or things that have nothing in common, which is a recurring theme in my work. People wrongly assume they need to resemble their friends or have points in common to get along when what wa need and thrive for is mixing with others in as far they are different and challenge our conceptions ...

"We Idealize Ourselves in Dreams" is an oil on canvas, quite a large one, which is about games of power, yet another theme that is dear to my heart, how we can imagine that when we have established a structure of relationships these are giving us a wrong idea of what we are, and what we would have dreamed to build as a relationship if power had not been involved, or, to the contrary, we can cynically see also the dream that is much more basic of people who thrive for a position in high society whatever this position might be, thinking that it is better to be the servant of a king to be the master of our own life... cynical but, human .

"From Outside" is another oil on canvas, which shows how groups are formed in solidarity to apprehend the unknown, how we find suddenly that we have something in comon with those we distrusted just the day before, in order to push back the invasion of what we find strange, or unfit to our expectations, the irony of this is that the centre of the scene and the importance given goes to the stranger we want to outcast, thus the fabrication of martyrs, and so on ...

"Pataphysical King and a Rose" is a palette painting in oil on canvas, I call a palette painting a canvas which has served as a palette for another painting, on which i leave remnants of oil to dry and form thick impasto, and build a picture around, or with them, there are a few in my works... this one is dedicated to Pascha, who knows who she is, and her love of pataphysics, the old discipline invented by Rabelais in Gargantua, a school of thought whose main motto is "Do whatever you please", presented like a philosophy of the future, and prefiguring the advent of surreal and dadaist thought. Here, there is a rose, to both represent my present to Pascha and to link this clin d'oeil to French literature to another symbol of this literature namely the roman de la rose. As most of my palette painting their execution and rendering is closer to art brut that , say, a painting in full oil with medium on a gessoed canvas, of course, so this is a part that forms a group aside in my work, as a technique, but is fully integrated as far as philosophy is concerned.

"Anima leaving the scene" is another oil on canvas representing one of my favourite themes which is the devastation that the evil or rather the archetypes contained inside human psyche can produce, leaving the scene on fire and with visible damage both psychic and physical, the Anima is returning to where she came from , the peace of our centred personality, and just disappears as she had appeared in the first place, quite obviously freely referring to CG Jung here, as far as the anima and archetypes topics are concerned. The fabric of this canvas is particular and gives it a raw aspect that doesn't appear on a smoother one, this is part of the raw and savage look of the scene in general .
