``I try to guide my paintings to their wedding, to transform them, from a wall to a window, this way I create my own alternative nature.
Change of light, intense filtered use of colors, but sereen, diffuse in lines.
I take life outside with me inside. Then I let the clouds hanging in the sun and the rainbows on the palette.``
