A writing project: L’Automate aux Bleus Océans, an upcoming poetry collection.
Memento Feram
The Memento Feram series draws on the imagery of bullfighting, only to subvert its codes. Here, the arena is no longer a spectacle, but an intimate territory. Each canvas becomes the stage of an inner struggle between control and impulse, strength and collapse, beauty and violence. The bull, like the matador, is never represented literally. These figures are embodied through bodies, color and texture, in a symbolic and instinctive language. This is not a scene to look at, but a ritual to witness. A raw choreography where each brushstroke evokes combat, sacrifice, or survival. Memento Feram carries a collective and sensory memory of the tensions we endure, of what we absorb, and of what we refuse to leave behind.

News and Upcoming Projects
After a proofreading phase as demanding as it was necessary, my manuscript is finally ready! Between excitement and apprehension, I share in this article my thoughts on this decisive turning point, as well as the steps I have taken to formalize my project and give it the best possible chance.
After the proofreading, sending to publishing houses!
L’Âme en Relief : A Collection Coming to Life
L’Âme en Relief is now complete. This series explores the meeting of painting and matter, where relief gives shape to buried emotions. Through a process blending experimentation and instinct, each piece questions identity, memory, and the silent forces that shape us.
