What makes your Works stand out ?

"I create Works that are neither paintings nor sculptures. I work with sheets of steel that I leave ti rust naturally outside. When I think the result is right, I stop them rusting further. Then I drow on top, removing the rust and adding coloured paint or sometimes ceramic. I am always trying to innovate because métal is such an interesting medium to work with. It’s a long and complicated task, but the results are suprising"

You are very generous artist. How does this show ?

 "The Courchevel Lions Club is organising an auction in December 2013 and I am giving a pièce called "Echiquier"(Chessboard), made with gold leaf."

How Courchevel inspired your new work ?

 "I am preparing a very colourful Pop Art collection "Pin-up Power" for the ressort."

You regularly leave your studio near Albertville to go up to Courchevel. Do you feel the need to be there ?

 "Courchevel is a totally different dimension, a fertile, inspiring place for me. I have sown a few seeds there, I hope they will grow."
