Impressionistic photographer, the creation of atmospheres and the amalgamation of ideas are the fil rouge of her artistic discourse.

 

Recurrent subjects are the body and self-portraits, textures and lights created by the bodies underwater or reflected in a mirror. The mirror, fetish object, by the light which creates and removes, by the flou atmospheres.

Abandonment, the projection of oneself into the beloved, the rupture.. are the issues discussed in SI TU ME DEJAS project. Where we find the

series : HEART IN A BOX and MOI APRES TOI ( ME AFTER YOU ). Existential dilemmas always evoked through the body.

 

However brighter is her latest project, FIX YOU where portrays with great sensuality her object of desire, her lover and partner, the also photographer and visual artist, DENISROMAIN.

 

 

 

 "I reflect on relationships, as we let our dreams in the hands of the beloved as if we were not complete without our object of desire. My photos speak of sadness caused by this inability."
  

"I am a plastic photographer, I intervene always in my pictures (with collages, film, mixed media, graffiti ..) I always work with single copies. I often use in printing and assembling raw materials (aluminum, titanium, steel. .), seeking the physical side, cold, strong and bright colors that provide.. ".

 

" I'm looking at the viewer's desire to touch my works. "
