Ice blocks

The artist gives preference to radiant natural materials such as alabaster, gypsum or gold, and commands them with a rare gesture of pure elegance. Some pieces take us back to the origins and to the underworlds, as they seem to appear difficult to date. Choosing raw and precious materials as well as some generic and archetypal shapes bears this double desire to inscribe both the apparition of art and the emergence of shapes in the long term, and to place them, as if out of time, in a tension towards the “horizon” of the absolute.
