Contramirale

I want to believe it is possible to create one's own era. That we are neither entirely the product of our history, nor mimetic victims of the present's demands. I have a classical formation, years spent reading, writing, searching in language for what I hoped might be a solution to the world. A world whose aridity I endured, and whose brutality pushed me into retreat. In my work there is something of one who has returned from the other side of the mist with joy — a singular joy that ignores nothing of what it cost.

AI arrived in my poetic life not as a rupture but as a desire in which I breathe with great pleasure. It is an instrument for making exist what already existed, inside me, before it had any form. As in writing. And as in writing I make beauty, in varied forms — that is my work. It is the means I find to connect with the world, with those others whom I still mostly do not understand, but with whom I maintain a reconciled relationship.

My artistic direction : inventive, poetic and profound. I do not fit within a charter or a reference. I want to allow myself everything, to imagine everything, to create still and always.

I work with a quick heart, in an exacting tension between my emotions and my ideas — both the most intimate and the most powerful. I make the deliberate act of working toward a loving world. And I have a quest: what is the feminine?
