I’m more interested in describing what is great, strong or moving about the little things in life.


Where would I most like to live?

in an even more isolated with the forest and the river right on my doorstep

loneliness, it surprises !

I believe that according to social conventions, it’s not trend !

What is my favourite place to eat and drink, in my city?

in my jungle amid flowers and insects and winter near the wood stove

Antonin Artaud, a little later, for the echo in the feelings

Fred Deux & Kubin, for their crossing of the drawing

Sandra Ingerman, more recently, for shamanic clarifications


Who are my favorite writers?

Right now, I’m exchanging SF with a friend ! I’m reading and rereading K. Dick !

I loved “Strange Relations” from P.J. Farmer. I just discovered “The Wound” of Nathalie Henneberg and “Alice Automate” of Jeff Noon !

I live the books on symbols, legends or mythology that of Jacques Brosse, on trees, Eliade…

“the St John Passion” of J.S. Bach in a muscular version !


Who is my hero or heroine in fiction?

ancient gods or demons revisited and hybridized by my subconscious and cyberchamanism !


Who are my heroes and heroines in real life?

I live little in reality ! But I like the wise like Maria Sabina, Hildegarde de Bingen,… !

“Wings of Desire”, Wim Wenders


What role plays art in my life and work?

I only live by that or thanks to that !!

It’s an elephant but it’s a little secret !

I work with “spiritual guides” (dead friends, allied spirits or personal divinities). I have a new strange project guided by this connection…


Which people in my profession would i love to meet in 2018/2019?

So many people, I’m very curious about everything that is bustling especially in graphic art !

What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to me?

It’s the flame that drives us until the body is exhausted !

a few fairies : Pétra Werlé, Christelle Lenci, Charlotte Waligora and Béatrice Soulié who knows how to find them !
