My work reflects my interest in current world events. It is essential for me to stay informed, and to keep my eyes opened. I feel a sense of duty as an artist to express my concerns and my views about the world in which I live. The war in Iraq has been a particularly important recent source of inspiration for many of my pieces. Some of my work reflects my interest in the social and political aspects of living in California and in such close proximity to the border with Mexico.

At the same time I am working on a series of paintings about my family and the landscapes I’ve visited. The series expresses my fascination for the mystery they all represent for me: the harshness and the beauty of the desertic landscapes I always loved and my two young children discovering the world.

Through my digital and painted artwork, I express and explore my views and interest in the essential elements of the relationship between human beings and the spaces that surround them. I often work in parallel on digital and painted pieces, my work with each medium feeding and enriching my work with the other. Many of my pieces are composed from photographs taken of my family during our travels over the years, and which have been digitally simplified and then often transferred to the canvas.

I work more and more in connection with the spaces where my work is shown, playing with the scales and different techniques (mural, drawings, paintings). Part of my work is ephemeral: directly painted on the wall, it disappears at the end of the show.
