To have the choice without being under influence. I do not live outside of time and the events that affect the world permeate me, but I have chosen here an optimistic vision of the free woman. You need space, a view that allows you to step back and contemplate, and from contemplation comes emotion. You also need books, music... this is the family you choose for yourself. In the group that was formed, each one chose to be reborn to herself through her artistic activity.

Several looks....Men and women...all of them, one towards the other, the u, against the other, then one without the other and one for the other, together always, links in resonance... in freedom... Discovering each other in silence, getting a little closer through colours, shapes and lines. A never-ending path where we lose ourselves in order to find a little more of this nature... in paintings like a diary... like a mirror of interlacing.

I like to imagine that my characters are always ready to step out of the frame. My line liberates the details so that only the essential remains... I make the body elastic, jubilant and powerful, even in the most dramatic moments of its condition. My colour touches and slightly disturbs the intention of the idea, barely embodying it. My line directs, organizes the movement, the speed of execution suggests the weight, revives the energy, animates the figures.

How do I see today's woman? I see a woman in search of physical and intellectual freedom: free to move around the world, to think and act as she wishes. I like to associate the word freedom with happiness. Sometimes we look for it so far away, this freedom, when it is right beside us. It is this feeling that I wanted to translate in my paintings: women from Africa, India, South America... who move forward in life, naturally, free, confident, happy.

The body of the woman, dressed, decorated, is a theatre that stages fashions, religions and addictions such as drugs, alcohol... The look, often, detaches itself from these stagings to transmit its sincere emotion. It reflects the soul that inhabits this body. In the women I present for this exhibition, I have sought the contrast between the depth of their souls in their moved looks, and the superficiality of their finery which, in excess, become their shackles.

When I was asked to participate in this exhibition, I was immediately attracted. The woman is at the heart of my creation, her harmonious forms inspire me. I like to confuse her in all her states, seductive, active, powerful, coiled, adored... I like to sculpt her in freedom!

To transform into, to put oneself in the place of, to speak with a thousand-year-old mollusc, to go back in time through stone. I try to establish correspondences between the mineral, vegetable and animal world. The sculptures presented are born of a dialogue and a listening with the materials. I try to experience the freedom that nature offers us through the infinite variation of forms, constantly renewed.
