"territory, this word reminds me of belonging to a place, to a region, or more broadly to a country or a continent. Territory conquered or to be conquered, which on a more philosophical level, would be the expression of a challenge: that of a mastery of the mind over matter. Physical territory of the space in front of oneself, which evokes the past conquests of man on earth and by extension, the territory of the leaf, of the canvas that remains this physical space open to the imagination of the artist. The spirit of a conquest of man and a fortiori of the artist, demiurge and creator, who in front of the world reinvents it to better free itself and possess it at the same time. The artist, I could say "i", traces, draws, paints, on the sheet or on the canvas, as if to identify the world and materializes on both dimensions, the very concept of its immediate environment. It is a work of identity that we are talking about here, and more precisely the one to which I attach myself when faced with the heritage subject I try to translate it or not, to make it something else...".
