"I am everyone and I am at home everywhere. Made up of ethnic hybridizations, and plural affiliations
Artistic approach
Through my portraits I singularly question the different roots and origins, the African, Caribbean and European identities within today's society. A questioning that has become as personal as it is impersonal because it is a common and central subject of a globalizing, interconnected and digital culture. A (mixed) society, like a spider's web, and converging from the extremes towards a still undetermined central point.The beginnings of this young 21st century already prove to us that tomorrow the borders of identity will be more and more permeable and cultures more and more mixed. What will be the use of the word race at the end of this century? I propose a leap forward in time, explore, meet, exchange, photograph, question by creating representative portraits of the individuals of today and tomorrow. Portraits that in all their forms challenge me, because with the advent of digital identities and their representations (eg avatars) which are added to traditional representations, a new problem of identity and social representation emerges from the virtual. A vast and distinct axis that must be explored. I see my future creations as potential points of convergence between our universe and these virtual worlds.I orient myself towards old and current supports to support a feeling of chronological imbued with nostalgia. New materials such as mirror, aluminum composite plates, frames, digital paintings and classic paintings, are all the biases that I use to seal my portraits out of time, in order to immortalize a figure or a style. shortly. Reflection and mirror effects serve to incorporate the viewer's eye into the work. A way to integrate its subjective interpretation according to its history. Indeed, the gaze is the most important variable in this quest for introspection, it integrates the viewer into this uni
to global and encourages it to take part in its hybridizations. The restitution of my work is also uchronic and converges towards several temperate and symbiotic realities. Bringing these different visions into dialogue and existing in a parallel universe would be the ideal of fantasy. Portrait of a caribbean woman artist.

TechnicalI define my creation as "Graphic'Art" through the creative process. It is a juxtaposition of different techniques of plastic expression. Digital art that uses image creation software, associated with so-called classic representation techniques, namely: acrylic paint, pencils, ballpoint pens, aerosol paints, etc. My technique experiments with different supports, different mediums, different materials as well as different scales of creation. The production resulting from this mixture gives a final result that I consider to be in my image: mixed. I use digital art by means of several image creation software, but also the printer and the scanner which allow the link to the virtual. A drawing made with markers in A5 format, once scanned, can become the background of a canvas of one meter by two for example. An acrylic painting can be reworked in digital painting, end up on wood and finished one last time with paint. There are no predefined steps, nor any order to respect, I choose the supports according to the portrait; canvas, aluminum, wood, mirror or plexiglass. The different technical strata are superimposed and make it possible to create a singular, contemporary writing and above all in my image. There is a close relationship between my technique and my artistic approach, directly linked to my identity questions. This creative process that is unique to me is similar to Russian roulette, there is a part of surprise when you think of crossing with surprising and different results. This part of the unexpected no doubt echoes the game of chance of genetic heredity, which defines the individuality of each and therefore of each of my creations. It is an uncontrollable part of mystery with good and bad surprises. The possibilities are therefore limitless, almost infinite
s, and the writing becomes more complex as the layers thicken. I add tangible material with acrylic, then I add virtual material with my graphics tablet. The result of the two writings embodies a certain idea of the virtual/real relationship that inspires me.
