Painting, matter and gesture
My work moves between painting, matter and gesture. I explore processes, layers and traces, and share this exploration through workshops where creating is also listening, observing and discovering new ways of seeing.
Each piece is a record of time: burnt paper, melted wax, lines that appear and disappear under glazes. Denis Diderot Grant 2026 · Château d'Orquevaux, France.
