Imagine that words of love would always come out of our mouths and that criticism would only be constructive.
Imagine that you go back to that beautiful place where you were so happy and you can go back there whenever you want.
Imagine that you could make all your dreams come true.
Imagine you could be a child again and embrace it.
Imagine you could change your shape, be another person, be an animal, be a plant.
Imagine you are surrounded by all the people you love and you can always ask them for help.
Imagine yourself happy and you will feel less unhappy.
Imagination is very powerful.
Because art is therapeutic and because imagination gives us freedom.
Art can be critical and transforming but also a way to meditate and make us travel, make us feel and move and transmit beautiful things to make us get out of sadness, pain, monotony, frustration and forget about problems.
I find the idea of interpreting and capturing beautiful moments that make us relive happy moments, paint dreams and illusions and during the process, be focused on these positive emotions.
An animal that was my friend, my companion and my protector.
A love that is healthy, that grows, that nourishes
A 70's image of young parents, full of love and illusions.
Images of women in nature that remind us of good witches, healers, caretakers, nature lovers.
Cinema, music, fashion, serigraphs with cheerful, creative images, transgressive, brave women, lively people....
I have been inspired by all this for this exhibition, because in these chaotic, corrupt, unjust, dramatic, warlike times, etc... A little imagination, an evocative painting or a beautiful memory, can give us a little bit of inner peace, a rest, a bit of illusion or joy, both for the artist during the creative process, and for the spectator when observing the work.
I also make commissioned works and I am happy to be able to interpret and immortalize with my painting some moment, some memory that makes them feel better.
