"My paintings are developed during immersive residencies. Through my private quests within closed communities and cloistered sites, I try to capture what is invisible. In a spirit of openness, I archive my stays and visits in words and images. These materials, which serve as sources for my paintings, consolidate my interest in architecture and in certain issues related to bodies: from those that are imprisoned to those in full expansion in a given space. As a consequence, each series of paintings is linked to particular aspects of a place: light, volume, iconography, the senses, and the history of the site and its occupants."
