French contemporary abstract artist
Abstraction without instructions
Marks or scribbles form the first sketch of every work, and I keep improvising in this way until the end.
Yet once finished, the work must be beautiful and, if possible, well made.
I therefore remain within an abstract language that rejects figuration as well as the formulation of a message, narrative, testimony or cause to defend.
Where does this lead me? Impossible to say, but certainly somewhere, because I cannot remake past works.
