This series is a tribute to sculpture. Created using natural pigments and precious stones such as lapis lazuli and malachite, these paintings also incorporate, more recently, marble used directly as a pictorial material. This approach creates a poetic connection between the subject and my interpretation: painting marble with marble itself. The result of personal research, this body of work explores ancient materials to give rise to resolutely contemporary art.

These pigments, whose traces can be found from the caves of Lascaux to the frescoes of Ancient Egypt, place each painting within a millennia-old continuity between tradition and creation.
