phase aqueuse 2.0

“mes écritures”

Initially fluid and organic, phase aqueuse explored a liquid style of writing made up of drips and dilutions, where the material guided the gesture.
With phase aqueuse 2.0, this fluidity has been structured into a more graphic language: the line is more assertive, the mediums become pens, and painting fully embraces its role as an act of inscription.

My tools each speak their own dialect, but the hand remains the same. Color becomes ink, matter becomes punctuation.

I don’t paint, I multiply writings.

My mediums are tools: brushes, pastels, inks… I write with materials.

Some marks are lines, others are spots, and still others are textures; each constitutes a unique form of expression within the same visual vocabulary.

This diversity of forms of expression creates a space where signs engage in dialogue, respond to one another, and sometimes contradict each other. The image is never static here: it is constructed within the tension between control and letting things unfold.

I’m interested in a work.
