Born in Brussels in 1966, my perspective was first shaped by the duality of two contrasting horizons: The telluric, mineral power of the Swiss Valais stood against the wooded softness of the Brussels outskirts. From this childhood spent between rock and sap emerged a need to translate the world. It was a need to transmute raw emotion into image and matter.
My journey began with the mastery of light. From the IATA in Namur to the halls of INSAS in Brussels, I learned the grammar of the frame and the discipline of the eye. For years, behind the lens of a documentary camera, I practiced the art of the « affût »—the patient watch. I captured the moment, composing with the vagaries of light, and inhabiting the space of the shot.
For a long time, my life was a geographical and emotional oscillation between the effervescence of film sets in Brussels and the contemplation of my studio in La Palma. I made this Canary Island my laboratory of solitude. It was there, between the ocean and the volcano, that a slow metamorphosis took place, toward «l’épure»—the essential.
Since 2016, after exploring graphic design and digital creation, I have moved away from the movement of images. I now favor the vibration of the line. My current work, almost calligraphic in nature, seeks a suspended balance. Form no longer limits, but becomes the breath itself. I call my creations «hypnographs.»
Upon the pristine white of the medium, I surrender to a compass-less wandering. It is a drift where the desire for a result fades before the purity of the gesture. What emerges are interlacings of «near-chance», archipelagos of signs. They oscillate between ideograms and figurative reminiscence. It is a territory of dreams and enigmas where reality chooses to slip away.
