Describe your earliest memories of wanting to be an artist.
I would say that I was hit by the stroke of craziness during my trip to Tahiti when I was 14.
What are three words that describe your work?
POINT OF VIEW
What are you hoping the viewer experiences when they view your work?
if they fall in love it’s a good start.
I want people to buy art not clothes.
How has your artistic style changed over the years? Does this correspond to a personal internal shift?
Every year is such a different experience, I think last year was discovery
and disco, this year is like rapping on a volcano.
Next year is going to be firecracker at the ball. I let you think about this answer
and understand it the way you want.
What does self expression mean to you?
Freedom
Describe your creative process with a new painting.
First I wear my monkey suit.
Then I light a candle, I dance around it for 20 min to classical music.
I light some Indian incense I’ve brought back from Hyderabad, India.
Then I eat something sweet and I’m ready to start
What/who inspires your work?
Traveling, textures, materials, people, technology, psychology and wine.
Do you have any non traditional tools/routines/objects that help you get inspired?
I need a strong choc and a cake. Sugar help for the first 5 min
How do you stay creatively challenged each day without feeling burnt out?
Burnt out is good for creation. I’m not scared about it anymore.
Do you think your surroundings influence your work? In what way?
Oh yes... unfortunately people I fall in love with.
They have a color impact on my work and it’s like an obsession.
This year was blue.
Blue blue blue blue blue.
Who is your dream collaborator? What would this collaboration look like?
I would love to work with more architects and designers, I love making objects for interiors. I am obsessed with chairs, I think there’s so many things to say about someone in the way he/she’s sitting.
If your paintings were served at a restaurant, what dish would it be?
”Une langue de boeuf s’il vous plait Monsieur”
