PAINTINGS ...

PAINTINGS ... When black is light...

One recurring element in my paintings is the background, always textured, aged... which gives it an aspect of authenticity, of lived-in life.

I don't like smooth surfaces; I get a feeling of emptiness, of a lack of depth.

My guiding principle is BLACK!

Without black, my work doesn't feel finished. Black represents strength and personality. It enhances every color, bringing light to them.

Depending on my themes, I juggle with different materials, acrylic, plaster, ink, stucco, varnishes, fabric, and many others that will inspire me and one day join my work.

I like curves, feminine, soft, enveloping, you can find them in my architectural projects and in my works.

It's a kind of signature, more or less pronounced depending on the paintings, but you can always make out circles, which are very often made in the last layer of my work.

It's an intimate, organic work, blending curves, traces of life, and sensuality. It also has a primitive, almost tribal side at times; I like this raw, intuitive aspect.

What emerges from my work is an impression of power, strength, and density.

A duality between materials, shadows and light, lines and circles.

Cowrie Shell Collection
I particularly like this small, round, shiny seashell.
Very present in African culture, it symbolizes strength, beauty and power.
Through these works, I wanted to highlight this.

MAKAS COLLECTION
In homage to the origins of my mixed-race children, the Makas are among the many ethnic groups of Africa, particularly Cameroon.
In this collection, one feels the enveloping warmth of this land, its raw and primitive character, counterbalanced by more precious and luminous finishes in places.

SECOND WIND COLLECTION

Every day, on construction sites, I see a considerable amount of materials destined for disposal. This reality has given rise to my desire to recover them and integrate them into my works, in order to give them a "second life" and reinvent them.

These materials, bearing traces, textures, and stories, then become a source of inspiration. By diverting them from their original use, I give them a new existence and invite them to engage in a dialogue with my artistic approach.

JEWEL COLLECTION
While browsing through the books in my library, I came across a collection of jewelry from around the world, and that was the spark for this new collection...

COMBO COLLECTION
Always driven by an interest in mixing — of genres, ethnicities, materials — I draw inspiration from my background, from fashion design to architecture, from fabrics to plasters.
I like to bring together materials that originally had no reason to meet, to let them interact and reveal their own message.

TRACKS COLLECTION
I wanted to capture the imprint of the gesture, the traces we leave behind.
Shades of black and white create rhythm in the composition, contrasting with intense colors.
Textures, striations and circles bear witness to the memory imprinted by matter and movement, inviting each person to feel their own invisible traces.
