Norma is an humanoïd  object, a strange and familiar companion that is feeding my painting today. First of all, you have to explore an object that has just been rediscovered, you study it, you give it another sense or function and you look at the result. Then actors take place, and you expect things being changed into something else. One travel within time, and then from inside to outside, but the first preoccupation must always be the pictural interest.
There are many ways to express the idea of the difference, I have chosen here to depict it through my preoccupation about uniformity : mind and body socially acceptable. This is not a claim, rather a strong artistic reaction, indignation. I think figuration is important to deal with complexity of human nature, just as I use transformation of reality and natural dissolution of shapes ; both are necessary to leave images behind and affirm my intention.
Paintings are acting like mirrors, and subjects are following one another.
Two things are actually required :
- present times have to be mixed with historic ones,
- let something may be tragic outside, remains dynamic and positive inside.
Norma is fed on day-to-day basis by its surroundings. To me she means celebrating the diversity of people.
Finally, I just want to find a refined language that allows thinking and associating through this work successively induced by obsession, anguish and dreams...
