“Since lockdown this is my sanctuary; a tiny back yard surrounded by simple walls and open to the sky. I have planted seeds in pots, and I am nurturing them. It has become a magical place made from the memories of all the gardens I have known. Here I can sit in intimacy and feel the heat from the sun, hear the wind stirring the leaves and smell the earth. I can dream.”

During the lockdown, I found myself alone in a house in the South of France surrounded by olive trees. I lived there almost like a hermit. Little by little, I realized that these trees, which I had loved since childhood, had been abandoned for more than 10 years. These noble trees, invaded by brambles and ivy were covered with dead branches. I started with pruning shears and started trimming them from morning to night without stopping. At the end of the lockdown, I had pruned around fifty trees and now plans to restart the olive oil production activity. These images retrace the process from the invasion of the brambles in the trees to the time when I burned the branches that I cut.

Curled up Femininity

"My artistic work illustrates my research of Femininity. I am inspired by my own story. The story of a child who became a girl, then a woman, in search of her Femininity. I am inspired by the female body, my body, but also that of other women. I observe and I transcribe. Often in "close-up", for a better view. And I simplify. Almost to the point of exaggeration. To lose us, make us think, push us to look better. And while undressing these women's bodies, I dress them in colors and materials. My art is a search for Femininity. Femininity often too little revealed. During the confinement, protection was discussed. We each had to protect ourselves from others and for others. I painted this painting, "Curled Femininity", with the idea of reminding the importance of protecting your own femininity. Because this same femininity protects the body of women."
