To be a painter and live one’s creation, if I had to explain how it " happens ", here's what I would say: The creation begins inside me, well before the implementation itself, it is similar to a conscious or inconscious gestation in my mind, I am somehow inhabited by an "idea-impression-emotion". it lives in me constantly (weither thinking about it or not), it will remain for a variable period of time, from a few days to weeks or even months. I see inspiration as rain seeding minds ready for that, and the work is the plant that seed of this water. So, the seed sprouts, it soon becomes a project, the pieces of the jigsaw begin to fit together, and the time comes for the materialization, either through drawings, preliminary sketches, or sometimes by starting the work itself. It's a very strong, very urgent impulse, (See "the picture by the force of the inner need" of Kandinsky), which occurs when the settling is completed, and if for various reasons (the every day life) I do not take the time to create, I will be cut off from this source, and I can no longer paint this work that would come from this windfall, I will have lost both the energy and understanding to achieve it! So I try to cope as well as possible, because missing the opportunity would leave me a feeling of emptiness and loss, precisely the opposite of the fullness felt in the wake of creation! (sometimes a work can go wrong, but its better than no try). That creation, when I dive in it, I have only to let the "painting" happen. I travel. Here I am, drowned in color and space. The work is born, it is here, accessible. It will only gain its true measure through the eye that will recognizes himself in it, while recognizing it. Someone who watches and enjoys a painting, puts into practice what I call " being born again with ".
