Libido, in the psychoanalytical sense of the term, is the trigger for my work. The fascination that an object gives me is the starting point for my research. Travel, affection and intimacy are present as ways of approaching the representation of my desire.

I'm interested in the poetic potential of the tiny and fleeting. I paint to simulate a rescue from the evanescing fate of things.

I paint, I draw, I copy (and I repeat) as an operation of translation. It's in repetition that things are lost and things are created. In this way, I construct mise en abyme of tiny, intimate and fictional spaces.

"Thinking images isn't at all about thinking about something fixed, it's precisely about thinking in movement. I think images are migrants, and in particular, they migrate from our memories to our desires. If they weren't invested by our desires, they'd be useless, and if they weren't invested by memory, there'd be no desire. I believe that we don't desire on a clean slate, and that there is no desire without memory."
