How I paint

From intuitive chaos to sovereign presence

My painting practice is grounded in process.
Composition emerges through a continuous dialogue between appearance and conscious construction. The painting reaches completion when forms settle into balance and an inner evidence becomes visible.

Each canvas unfolds in three moments: intuitive chaos, turning point, sovereign presence.

Ich paint as I think, feel and act.
I paint as I am.

1. Intuitive chaos

I begin painting by letting my intuitive choices guide my gestures. A color asserts itself, reflecting my energy at the moment. On the canvas, a choreography awakens within the thickness of the flat tints, where the tones layer upon one another and the splash breaks the silence. I even often destroy everything to keep only the traces. The process stops when the background holds the canvas. The material becomes a living ground for the essence that seeks to appear.

2. Turning Point

The initial tumult becomes readable. Forms emerge, suggested by material and color. At this moment, the canvas becomes a passage: chaos gives way to emerging order, and intuition meets consciousness. Choice becomes attentive, here and now. This is when the essential begins to become existential: the canvas takes shape, and the viewer is invited to enter this threshold.

3. Sovereign Presence

The forms assert themselves, taking their place and balance within the background. They become sovereign and present, in perfect harmony with the canvas. The painting becomes fully existent: a space where the viewer can perceive presence, sense the stabilized living, and cross the threshold I propose.

From turbulence to presence,
from essence to existence,
each canvas becomes a space
where the gaze can wander
and the observer can encounter his own presence.

The series

“Immensité”
Immensity or the world in becoming

In the series Immensité, open spaces seem to absorb barely suggested figures: tiny, balanced, sometimes lost in the expanse. Yet their presence persists. Each figure becomes an anchor point at the threshold of the infinite.

“Incarnation”
Incarnation or presence in accord

Flora, fauna, and figures—often feminine—appear upright, sovereign, free or enigmatic. They seem to emerge from the decor that carries and passes through them. They do not dominate the world though. They inhabit it in their whole presence.
