Dreams are giving us many clues on our life. On our past and future self.
I'm trying to represent in my art the feeling of a dream, the essence of what a dream would look like. I want people to connect more with this unconscious part of themselves so that they can know themselves better find who they truly are in the depths of their own soul. By doing that every being is more equipped to connect with others and understand each other. It's suppressing fear, anger, jealousy, all the negative emotions that are polluting humans' mind. One of the most beautiful thing about humans is our capacity to connect with each other. I want to encourage connexions between humans through my art. I want to create an impression of ''Sublime'' that would make you dive in a feeling between frightness and admiration. That's why I like to play with darkness, light and big canvas.
