It is also a way for me to keep inside all these true stories and immortalize them in and on the ceramic. And for archaeologists, the earthenware items they discover help them to understand the history of a culture. It is a natural material, perhaps the most used in all the civilizations, which carefully protect many precious things. The choice of the terracotta is important for me. I then paint directly onto the pot, after which the potter fires for a second time. A potter then makes the series and fires them for the first time.

It is difficult for the spectator to differentiate between painting and photography in this savvy combination of purity and insolence. Both provocative and intriguing, they seduce through the softness of their forms but also through their staging, worthy of a theatre set.
