comment:
I create dreamlike, sensitive spaces that offer intimate moments reflection. These spaces, seen through painting and heard through music, are made up of a common vocabulary (tonality, harmony, resonance, vibration, composition). Through the blurring and interplay of perceptions (auditory and visual), I model textures and surfaces that become starting points for the imagination. Through painting, music, performance and installation, I seek to create a tension between hermeticism and the desire to make visible, to show, to
to be seen and heard.
I design tools/instruments that enable me to approach music from a relational point of view: human-machine-environment. In their design, I like to integrate an unpredictable dimension, by using data flows, and thus recreate a ‘life’, a truly digital autonomy.
