“I paint, I fix an emotion on the canvas; then I destroy: it is through this process of transformation that something happens, an act of self-healing, a real exercise to train the mind through a physical action where our gaze accompanies the fingers, an action that no longer allows us to go back .

This elaboration arises from the need to reach a state of lightness that allows us to see beyond what appears to us, to overcome, to imagine. It takes courage to start, just as it takes courage in the very act of tearing.

The tear is a silent act of protest; it has a metaphorical meaning: to make a break with a decisive, fast, precise movement, dictated not only by instinct, but also by the desire not to have regrets towards the past.

After the first gesture of breaking, a meditative process is triggered which is repeated like a ritual, like a Tibetan mandala, which reminds us of the impermanence of things: there is no end without a beginning, and there is no beginning without an end. ”
