CREATION THROUGH ENCOUNTER
A work born
of an encounter.
WHAT I OFFER
Each work is unique. An encounter can become the origin of a creation that would not otherwise have existed.
When someone wishes to begin a conversation, I listen differently: to words, silences, rhythms, tensions, what soothes and what needs to circulate.
My experience in guidance, art therapy and above all music has taught me to listen differently: to words, silences, rhythms, tensions, what soothes and what needs to circulate.
Then I return to my own language: white, material, subtraction, thresholds, lines of tension and the cubes I make myself. Oil or acrylic asserts itself according to what the work requires.
THE PROCESS
Listen. Translate.
Let emerge.
01 — THE ENCOUNTER
An initial conversation to hear what the person wishes to share, without trying to explain everything.
02 — LISTENING
Words matter, but so do silences, rhythms, tensions and breaths.
03 — CREATION
I return freely to the material. The gesture and composition remain my own.
04 — RESONANCE
The work is revealed. When it makes sense, an original sound creation may accompany it.
I am not seeking to make a painting that resembles a person. I seek to create a work that would not have existed without that encounter.
I remain free in gesture and composition. This freedom is essential to me. Each piece is therefore truly unique.
What is entrusted to me remains within the space of the encounter and nourishes the work without becoming a literal representation.
START A CONVERSATION
If this proposal resonates.
An initial conversation simply allows us to sense whether a work might arise from this encounter.
This proposal belongs to an artistic practice. It does not constitute therapeutic support.
