Inspired by the Buddhist
philosophy of the middle path
as well as other mystical
traditions, I create visual
spaces where realities overlap
each others. I try to express

see how, despite the missing
part (i.e.: Petite
configuration II) the mind
re-creates the suggested
shape; from memory it fills
the blanks, when a totally
different thing could be
happening in the empty spaces.
In an other example, like
Configuration I, the mind is
also put at work, but this
time the lines are not
following from one fragment to
the other and it creates a
discomfort, an unbalance that
leaves us in an intermediary
space; like an unanswered
question.


For several years my research

and medium) and fragmentation.
These two actions allow me to
investigate two spaces
simultaneously; the imaginary
space (illusion of depth...
