My emotional and psychological state is the starting point of a creation.

An inner vision springs in my mind and depicts, thanks to specific oil and acrylic colours, metal sheets, archetypal forms and symbols, the level of personal and spiritual evolution I have achieved. Once this moment of awareness is fixed by the painting, I see a clear direction to work things out, to proceed for the next step of expansion, on my way to fulfilment.

I develop these “aha” moments through various series. Each one points to a different direction but all of them are about  healing and self improvement for a better life.

Series:  "On my way to Light "

It narrates the story of a healing... a victory that unfolds through many tales, complete in themselves. Each tale, or would we say each painting, evokes a success achieved out of hope, confidence and even faith.

My paintings speak of trials faced and triumphed over. All of us in the course of our life are confronted to adversity. It begins with "Expectation" where we see a woman wondering if she has the courage to choose her own path, shortly followed by "The girl with the kite” who wants to heal. From that point, my life path - but it could be yours - progresses through a series of obstacles overcome. Each canvas symbolizes a gate and its threshold crossed.

I paint the choice between two possible directions: to remain where we are stuck or, even worse, to go back in the past, or to choose to move forward towards Light and Transformation, synonymous with healing.

If we decide to listen to our heart and to communicate, we go away from the sadness and misunderstanding. We begin a journey toward the unification of “body, mind, spirit and soul ", the only way to build a strong and robust living being, able to withstand any storm.

This is my intent: to paint the numerous adventures of a new Man looking for  having his feet well rooted to the ground and his head in the sky, master of his destiny.

Series:  "Resurrection through our female origins"

Who among us has not dreamed, at least once, to have the opportunity to rise, leaving behind the scars of the past, to freely choose one’s path, confident in one’s capabilities…

Enthusiasm ... the enthusiasm to start life afresh again. Feeling like the Arabian phoenix that is reborn, ready to grasp a better life.

My paintings want to reveal many ways  of resurrection through many different matrices, different in their materialization, but equal in their symbolism, our female origins. Everything and everyone are conceived in the belly of the Female. Through this universal and sacred origin, from the most ancient times, we are ready to go out into the world to create our future, listening to our deepest inner voice.

Series: “I choose stability”

Series: “Mandala path”

Series: “The shining path”

My actual studies of the Cabbala have begun to inspire some paintings through Hebraic letters and the Tree of Life.
