MY PROJECT

 

MY PROJECT

My current research focuses on the question of temporality, through the lens of ornamental motives, details, and the issue of visibility and its boundaries. It is through printmaking, particularly the eau-forte technique, that I conduct these investigations.

Through my work, I offer an immersive perspective on perceptible and visual impressions, where the traces of time, its slow erosion and silent transformation, reveal the fragile dialogue between permanence and disappearance:

  • What can we truly see, beyond appearances and the limits of perception?
  • Which elements are revealed by light, in the fragile balance between visibility and disappearance?
  • How do these elements reflect the passage of time?

My work invites an exploration of the sensory and the visible, guided by the silent passage of time and its imprint on perception.

The in-depth study of ancient ornamental art and its reinterpretations during the Renaissance is part of my research work. I draw inspiration from its patterns and elements of perspective representation while reflecting on the diverse perspectives—ancient, modern, and contemporary—on the various aspects of the detail and composition.

It is not a matter of carrying out a reconstruction, but the work of memory: an inner archaeology, where ash, stone, and ruin become signs of a suspended temporality.

Each of my printmakings functions as a fragmentary record, a subjective mapping of places once inhabited and now silent. In them, the artist confronts the ephemeral and the permanent, the visible and the buried, in a dialogue between matter, light, and disappearance.

I share my research and artistic journey every month in my podcast. Through this format, I invite you to immerse yourself in my studio, while exploring the great classics and the history of art.

WHO AM I ?

I was born in France, where I completed my studies in Fine Art and History of Art. Studying and working in Italy, a land steeped in history and artistic tradition, remains as a profound and intense experience, continually shaping the themes and sensibilities of my practice.

I grew up in a family of musicians, where art was woven into everyday life, shaping my sensitivity to rhythm, silence, and the subtle resonances that connect sound, image, and time.

Today, music still plays an important part in my creative process. Indeed, the practice of music is essential for my work, both in its methodical and creative aspects.

I have a dual background in fine arts and history of art, which allows me to have perspective on my work while being steeped in the works of the great masters.

My dual background in Fine Arts and Art History allows me to engage in a dialogue between practical creative experience and a critical understanding of artistic traditions. This interplay helps me situate my work within a broader historical and conceptual context while exploring ideas and techniques through hands-on experimentation.
