Statement of Practice

My practice is based on philosophical research translated into visual iconography, focussing on the idea of eternity and the impermanence of the human condition.
As a multidisciplinary artist with a strong background in painting, a natural evolution towards installation and sculpture allowed more flesh when it comes to the worlds created.
I principally work with materials left behind from consumerism and human activity, treating these materials as sacred.
My present work focuses on worlds mirroring our own, haunted by memories and hidden intentions. The viewer is presented with figures, motionless or busy in obscure behaviours, spilling rogue energy.
Paintings, positioned at the boundaries of the installations, reflect the uneasy theme of a beautiful yet merciless nature, symbolised as children “Singing the song of life and death” which directly manifest into the temporality of our existence.

 "It happened like this. Every time light changed, something in the world was altered. It started with the air, the way it rippled or stood still, its texture, almost imperceptibly at first. Then came water and of course fire. Ah.. fire, that one was quite something."
(from The Book of Longing / The Methodology of the Marvellous / Legrand)

"There were lighthouses. In time, it attracted the angels and the demons, they ate the light and transformed. They became people, filled with light and gold, blood and sinews, moving all over the lands, bound by gravity to its dust."
(from The Book of Longing / Monsters of Light/ Legrand)
