I try to give to my visual research the capacity to rebound, to ensure that the picture has generated not one, but several degrees of reading. I wish to extend the time for contemplation by the questioning. The distance between the subject, and how to treat it, adds to this desire for a vibration between what we see, what we accept and what remains. The photo can be a means of translation, but as much as video, drawing, painting or installation. The media is important, but use it, divert it and play with his vocabulary is more important. I try to create images like a painting. There is the substance, form, subject, characters. I try to paint but differently, not with the brush but with colors, moves, details, it is not painting but it talks about, and my work is trying to be as touching as a painting can be.Most installations that I build to construct the image are developed quickly, I use often that I find at the time and place, I multiply the chances of unexpected encounters and how to avoid falling into the simple realization of what has led the project. In my work, I often work with extras, they bring me a human factor that surprises me, and often gives me directions I had not anticipated. Under my influence, I can mention Jeff Wall for his paintings and his photographic affiliation with the classic painting, Gregory Crewdson for film photographed injected into his compositions, Marina Abramovic for its performance and choreographic aspects.
