Every painting in this series was built over time layered, pulled back, corrected, then reshaped again. These works are less about the subject and more about what forms in the space between gestures. It’s a study in contradiction: control vs. release, structure vs. chaos, body vs. outline.
Captured over the span of three weeks in the south studio, the process was entirely physical thick brushes, dry sponges, bare hands moving pigment. Each stroke interrupted the one before it. Each shape questioned what came next.

I was born just beyond the vineyard walls of Château La Coste, where sculpture fields and silence shaped my earliest sense of form. I work primarily in oil, pigment, and pencil always on raw ground, always by hand. My practice moves at the pace of interruption: the quiet between ideas, the tension before execution. I focus on portraiture, though not always in the way people expect. Sometimes it’s the subject I remember. Sometimes just the shadow they left behind.
Today, I live and work in Provence surrounded by unfinished canvases, ashtrays, and the kind of light that doesn’t ask for attention.
