Even though I am afraid of the unknown, I am driven to explore my inner self. I exploit this phenomenon by devoting myself to printmaking; my practice uses gestures whose source draws from the unconscious. The printed result can suggest subjects, forms, or stories that are unplanned but often surprising and reveal the power of the imagination.

Printmaking gives me the experience of a medium and a practice off the beaten track.

The game of the unknown is played until the end of the creative exercise since it is during the passage of the press between the paper and the plate that the result is known.

My printmaking practice is carried out as follows: starting from a matrix (acrylic plate or other rigid material), I apply a structuring paste worked in gestures. Once dried, the paste is reworked, sanded, hollowed out, etc. Different layers of oil ink pigments are applied and then wiped off according to the desired effects. Passing under the press transfers the shapes and colors onto the paper and gives birth to the print. For some time now, I have been taking printing further by using mixed techniques.
