Dreamstones : Inspired by agates, jaspers, marbles, and dendrites whose inclusions evoke representations of the world. These images created by the hand of nature reveal a natural fantasy. Symbols merge with the stone's designs, coming together in a constellation, a chimera, or even an exquisite corpse of stories, mythological fragments, in service of a more sensitive perception of life as a whole. It is an exploration of matter; the gesture emphasizes the natural patterns, enhancing them with dye, gold leaf, metal, mother-of-pearl; a juxtaposition of metamorphic limestone and marble transforming into precious stones. The play of mirrors gives us access to a liminal space, between dream and reality. As a winner of the "Bourse Matière" 2023, this series started during the Artist Residency organized by Fonds de Dotation Verrecchia on stone carving.
A series of liminal sculptures celebrating the beauty of nature and highlighting its disappearance. Each piece, meticulously cast in bronze is a fusion of real flowers and carving techniques. They are unique medicinal plants collected during the artist's 18-month-long research and exploration. These sculptures serve as a testament to the healing properties and cultural importance of these plants, capturing their essence in a timeless and enduring form. The Ghost Flowers series invites viewers to appreciate the intricate beauty of these medicinal plants and contemplate the profound connection between nature, healing, and artistic expression.
