La toile est un espace en mouvement que la lumi è re et Ia forme animent aux accents d ’ évocations mythiques. Ma peinture est une écriture, o ù se confondent, sensibles ou intenses, r ê ves et perceptions dans une libre architecture de tons translucides et de structures en suspension. Mes peintures naissent aussi d ’ un jeu avec Ia mati è re et Ia fluidité des tissus et des filets, li é s par superpositions. Synth è se d ’ une image enti è re, suspendue libre, ou la lumi è re circule inscrivant un jeu de reflets et d'ombres, de transparence et d'opacité, et prolonge sans limite l ' œuvre inscrite dans l'espace. Le regard se perd entre le sujet et son é cho, l ’ objet et son double. L ’ espace se conjugue au temps pour graver l'empreinte d'une vision é ph é m è re comme un d é fi a l'imaginaire avec, pour issue, l'accord ou le conflit. Klairy Korelis.
