I live in the future

I am a mess

It coud be worse

Do not bend

Jusqu’ici tout va bien

_La haine

What was beauty?

Use me, dream me 

She will have power

It terrifies me

In mourning and in rage

Les fleurs du mal

I can’t stop

Un genre de sauvagerie

Reasons not to panic

A lot of noise

It is now well known

The day the work is done

Endlessness

Unusual proposal

They don’t go away

It’s a coincidence

Finding your way

The time that remains

An addiction of

It’s a fiction

I’m dead now

Charnier, mass grave

Catacombes

Sympathy

Dear dead

Dear human

The answer is no

Forever ever

C’est la mort

The year of hibernation

Dive

Lumière noire

Black power

In the darkroom

The invention of

Heavenly cause

End of the day

Acedia or melancholy

A failure to love god

A very normal way

It’s like freedom

The more it disappears

To play the game

The game of seeing

Driftwood

Again and again

Take a deep breath

The killing field

The day the world went away

Nature morte

I kept on waiting

Emmène-moi

Dégénération

À partir de maintenant c’est la fin

Dead meat

The innumerable and hidden beauties

which surround us

_Franco Maria Ricci

It became an obsession

Delirious magical

Now i’m fine

You don’t have a future

Cry me a river

We are all

Hug me

Imperfect Life

I look at him

What could this possibly be?

The final day was yesterday

There is a place

Standing on a cliff

La mécanique

Une femme sujet

A painting is a really thin sculpture

In being dug up

Together again

From dust to ashes

Destroy everything you touch

Trying to resist boredom

Être

No U turn at any time

Love Will found you

A line in the sand

The violence of the impassive

I will not hurt you

The end is never right

We can burn brighter than the sun

You are the blood

Dark was the night

It’s a killer

Love me now

Anytime

I am not free

Hurry up

Reality, truth and harmony

S.A.D seasonal affecting disorder

What is the theme

Sorrow

Pain

Perfumed pinks, dreaming blues,

peaceful yellows

Incandescent

Violent reds

Languid

Take me to bed and love me

Gift shop

Free from obligations to human sentiment

Beauty exists only in struggle

There is no masterpiece that has not

an aggressive character

Le printemps porte l’espoir de l’été

Refused to hold the past as sacred

Do the obvious

Why don’t you finish the unfinished

Destroy all monsters

I’ve got a secret.

Where the wind blows?

I want to fly

But who are you?

Moi même je suis pas sure de ces essais

sur l’humain, ses abimes...

Mais je veux des écorchés vifs...

Entre bourreaux et victimes...

Je veux des êtres... Pleins...

Qui ont vécues... 

Apres la fête...

Tard tard dans la nuit... 

Quand tout a été possible...

Quand tout est arrivé...

Et ce qu il en reste... Ce moment...

Cet être

État brut

Sous le sable

Tout est contraste en moi

parce que tout est contrarié

jugular moment

Les veines jugulaires sont les

vaisseaux qui drainent le sang

appauvri en oxygène, en provenance

de la tête jusqu'au coeur.

On dénombre plusieurs veines

jugulaires : deux veines jugulaires

internes, les plus volumineuses, deux

veines jugulaires externes, deux

veines jugulaires postérieures et deux

veines jugulaires antérieures réparties

de chaque côté du cou, qu'elles

parcourent. Elles drainent donc le

sang du cerveau et de la face et

rejoignent les veines subclavières.
 

Les veines jugulaires internes sont des

veines de gros calibres et des lésions

les atteignant peuvent être à l'origine

d'hémorragies massives.

L’intérêt pour les réflexions

contemporaines de la peinture tels

que la réinterprétation d’images déjà

médiatisées (photographies

d’actualité) et/ou leur manipulation

(zoom, montage, hors-champ) permet

de traiter des thèmes essentiels de

notre société.

Alors que nous sommes submergés

d’images, choisir d’en retenir

certaines. Ce tri peut s’opérer sur le

net ou parmi des imprimés. S’inspirer

de ces photos, les transformer, se les

approprier pour en donner un autre

résultat, son propre regard.

Neither war nor peace

It is best to think if the faces as

mirrors

I am interested in the paradox

between identity and uniformity,

in the power and vulnerability

of each individual

Minimalist, muscular, monastic,

magical?

Jugular / muscular?

Un air de désolation

Poetry of decay

Never complain never explain

Désolation, séparation, aliénation

Black is beautiful

Art is a way of sleeping with

the enemy

Les gisants

Les revenants

Those who can't come back

The psychology of domination

From the huge and absurd to the

tiniest mnemonic souvenirs dormant

in a shoebox under the bed, we all

need these moments, these objects,

these ideas. These are the things

we are.

Take a deep breath

D'un instant à l'autre

Un chien vivant vaut mieux

qu'un lion mort

An effort to show the complexity of

Life, the density of situations, the

aftermath of the... and it's

consequences

The project is a kind of journal,

one that narrates life and history,

the disappearance of humanity

The rise of society

Mutation and identity

Le goût d'un recommencement, de

revenir à l'origine alors que tout est

possible, savoir que l'on ne pourra

rien effacer et vouloir retourné au

début pour...

Quand ça ne se passe pas au début

ça ne se passe pas après

The destroyer

The unscathed (indemne)

Le passé est devant nous

Thinking the unthinkable

What is duality?

01 2016

Latent, present but not visible,

apparent, oractualized; existing as

potential
 

My work exists with certain notion of

life and death... It's a thing that make

me think about finality, and it's

statement about after death....

About my own immortality/mortality...

Entering consciousness

Repression and desire

Cultural conditioning of repression

and desire

That struggle...

It's manifestation in tyranny, trauma,

brutality

I revolt simply because I can no

One million years

Not ready to accept the ferocity of life

Accreation, something that has

grown or accumulated slowly : a

product or result of gradual growth

The quantity of accretion and

devastation ...That we experience...

l'accrétion aurait une conséquence...

L'accroissement, l'augmentation...

... Turned to reenactment as a means

of exploring the representational

challenges posed by traumatic

events...

A rehearsal

I was consumed by the certainty of

death

... Found beauty in even the darkest

subjects...

A crack in modernity's facade...

A manic series...

Simulates a physical encounter with

vultures to embody the mythical

power of evil...

The intimate reality of the

experience...

Le spécisme est la considération 

que des membres d’une certaine espèce 

ont des droits moraux plus étendus 

ou supérieurs à ceux accordés

à d’autres espèces, 

notamment la considération

morale supérieure que les humains

accordent à leur propre espèce. 

Ce concept éthique est surtout utilisé par 

les défenseurs des droits des animaux, 

en particulier ceux qui se définissent 

comme antispécistes.
