Carnet de textures
I see my work as a ceramic artist as a journey through material, an artistic diary into the heart of texture.
A path without a map, shaped by gestures, attention, and silent exploration,
and this journal is its reflection.
To travel is sometimes to pause. To listen. To touch. To compose.
This journal is a passage.
A journey through forms, textures, and silences,
where each collection becomes a stop along the way,
and each installation, an inner landscape to inhabit with the eyes.
Movement plays a central role here,
the movement of the body, of breath, of the gaze as it flows around each piece,
but also the movement of places crossed.
Real journeys feed the gesture,
and the material, in return, holds the imprint of these fragments.
Nature is a constant presence.
It inspires volumes, textures, rhythms.
You might sense a leaf, a shadow, a layer of bark, or a trace of stardust,
like a quiet pulse in every creation.
For me, creating is about experimenting.
Following my intuition, welcoming the unexpected,
letting emerge what cannot be planned.
It’s a search for a poetic dialogue between gesture and material,
between what is mastered and what resists.
Welcome to my Carnet de Textures.
