Artist Statement
November 2016
As Pablo Picasso said it : "The meaning of Life is to find your gift - The purpose of Life is to give
it away".
The foundation of my work is not so much to create a work of art than to use Art to make
the world a better place. I value creativity more as an attitude than a know-how.
When my dear Francois Rabelais writes in Pantagruel : “Science sans conscience n'est que
ruine de l'ame”, he means that Science – intellectual knowledge - without awareness of the
possible adverse effects of its application is the death of one's soul. I believe this is also
true of Art and that creation for the sake of creation is a waste of one's energy.
Artistic creation should proceed from 2 complementary currents:
• An aesthetic and creative flow by which the artist actually creates, allowing
something bigger than him to be expressed through him.
• A spiritual, religious or social one, through which the artist harnesses this creative
flow to serve the community that supports him.
At this time of my life, my work is mostly inspired by the Arts of Classical Rome and French
and Italian Renaissance. Zen Buddhism, Confucian philosophy and the concept of “Do”
omnipresent in Oriental cultures are the spiritual counterpart to these deep aesthetic
influences.
I create to share my passions and bring people to realize they have in them what it takes to
be creative. If you have the right attitude, you will acquire the know-how. After years of
experimentation and work with great masters, I want to share what I learned to inspire
people to give the best of themselves and to make the world a better place for all people,
with no discrimination or preference of any kind.
