These works are designed as poetic improvisations a counterbalance to my new old worlds, socially critical that are thematically very taxing because of our difficult times. Here, the pleasant elements of summer and autumn are used to compose an arrangement that relaxes. Ikebana (Japanese: 生花, literally meaning ‘living flowers’) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement.

Poverty is the father of revolution and crime. Revolutions? Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, etc. In Europe too, you see small and large marches of malcontents every week: in the banlieux of Paris during Sarkozy, the green shirts under Macron.

Back in June 2009, I started making watercolours and photographs in St-Paul park. I was asked to work with the exterior of the cathedral in the 21st century.

In our century, there is a turnover of people all over the world, the possibility of travelling exists, even over long distances, which creates many difficulties. The newcomers are not always wanted in the safe environment where they want to go. Humanity is experiencing dramatic times. Meanwhile, nothing has improved, only worsened and become more widespread.

Are works that hold the memory, the memory of every day. It can sometimes seem banal, fascinating, extreme, disturbing or poetic, but it is part of life. What is art if not an attempt at conversation with the viewer through the image.

The fragmented pictures are an attempt to grasp the last disappearing archaic world of silence- rest of people and animals in harmony with nature( as a part of nature). These are threatened worlds of growing urbanisation by growing noise and traffic, advancing stone, housing and damaged relations between humans. These are the threatened worlds.
