The fixed under glass that is to say painting on the back of glass is an ancestral technique. This way of painting has been for me obvious to express the power of life but also its fragility and the way to make portraits of people living in the street. I am looking for the stroke under the screen through landscapes, light, transparency, back which becomes a verse. The luminus outline, aesthetically pleasing of course but above all transformation, ambivalence, questioning. Because when emotions are written down …

I searched through the landscapes, the light, the transparency, the reverse that becomes towards, the touch behind the screen. The light contour; certainly an aesthetic effect but above all a transformation, ambivalence, questioning.
