Hypnographs — The Vibration of the Line

Born in Brussels in 1966, shaped by the contrast between the mineral horizons of the Swiss Valais and the wooded softness of the Brussels outskirts, I first trained my eye through the image — at IATA in Namur, then INSAS in Brussels — followed by years behind a documentary camera, watching for light and the right moment.
Since 2016, I’ve moved away from the movement of images toward the vibration of line and color. My « hypnographs » emerge from a gesture free of figurative intent — an automatic writing, a seismograph of the invisible. Monotype, or the added color, then gives that line a body: transparency, density, color, until it becomes a sensory presence rather than mere drawing. I favor the square format, which abolishes the horizon and pulls energy toward the depths of the composition — a drifting territory of shadows and interlacings where reality chooses to slip away.
