Animals and Figures

In this series, the animal ceases to be a motif and becomes a gesture: the swift stroke of a fleeing cat, the hieratic presence of an observing bird, the tender clumsiness of a donkey captured in charcoal. On cardboard and panel, each creature emerges with an urgency that harks back to the primitive, the instinctive, to what is drawn before thought.

The figures do not seek anatomical fidelity but rather the emotional truth of the encounter with the other-that-lives. Enamels, pigments, and gestural strokes compose an intimate bestiary where nature is not represented: it is invoked.
