Since always, I think, I read, I speak in images. I am a compulsive eater of images and in this world where the media each day manufacture million of them, I feel an urgent need to invent mine. I want to see what I have desire for seeing. A long time I worked on only one image at the same time, a painting, a photograph, an engraving, during hours, by mixing them, by triturating them until it allures me in a clear writing. I discovered recently, because that became accessible for all, the magic of the cinema, and there, in the same time, instead of making one image, I can make of them fifteen thousand or twenty thousand and even more. These images I took them around me, in my workshop, on my table, in my wall cupboards. But all speak about my interior universe, from what occurs in my head, my body, my heart.
