Turned towards the working of glass in all its aspects, mixing hot and cold techniques - casting, fusing, carving, polishing- the artist attempts to draw near to the mysteries of the Universe through his creations. The theme of his degree, entitled “the birth of Light” lies at the root of a perpetual search centered on transparency, the inner nature of the object and its luminous virtuallity. “Birth of Light, aura of stone, spirit of stone…”The cycles of creation follow one another, evoking this attempt to marry stone and glass, heaviness and transparency, diurnal and nocturnal reflection of Psyche.
