" Your painting stretches to infinite lengths, to the tenuous limit of the present moment, relevant and precise. "
Gérard Xuriguera

Bridging the east and west, the future and tradition, spirit and nature...
I paint to continually push back the boundaries of perception.
The right sign is enough to create the right vibration, to touch the basic essentials.
Fullness needs emptiness for energy to circulate.
It is all about vibration, colour, form, words and silence .

My monochrome paintings and understated shapes express this work
of uncomplication that I have been practicing for so many years,
but they are inhabited by the sensuality and poetry of touches
of gold in random lines .

I have been working with gold paint for about ten years.
I love the vibration it produces when respected and listened to.
It is subtle, intangible and rare.
At once emergence and disappearance, snare and freedom.
Gold is a matter of light.
Visible and invisible, from the absolute mirror
to the deepest dark hole, it creates a play on shadow and light which leads to new limits.
It goes further than what humankind can "see".
At the edge of matter, it is its first and last smile.
Radiant, it is there to enlighten us, the universal secret of the alchemy of life, a transmutation that nature has produced within her soul, showing us that light is there in the darkest depths within us.
Man has diverted it and made it a source
of envy, wealth and power.
Accumulating gold mortifies it, locking it up snuffs out its light and flies in the face of its destiny.
It is so generous, a simple touch is all it takes, a single dot.
There then appears a brand new space, a space that is vibratory, beyond words and mysterious, within the confines of an unknown dimension .

At Kyoto, The Temple of Gold,
whose outer face is entirely covered in gold,
there is an island amidst a lake on which lies one of the most compelling places I have ever known in my life.
The air irradiates around a luminous and subtle transparency, which opens up its doors to a world
of finesse and joy .
