Emotion is the heart of my work. I see it as the genesis of a connection between two elements. Emotion must be strong to create an intense connection and generate a powerful impact. It is this emotional process that I seek to reveal by representing the Living. We have something unique in our gaze. Something true. Something pure. Something that, at times, we humans have lost by distancing ourselves from the Living; yet, we are still part of it... By appropriating the technique of chiaroscuro and painting on a black background, I aim to capture an emotion, a sensation, a feeling that the viewer will interpret intimately. Through this emotion—so pure, so powerful—I seek to capture attention. I aim to show what we have tended to forget, ignore, hide, or silence. Throughout history, humans have always gathered and mobilized around shared stories. I believe it is through emotion that these stories are created and internalized. I want to contribute to the narrative of the Living, for the Living.
