Textile arts

For some twenty years, I practised weaving tirelessly; then, at the dawn of the new millennium, I discovered another textile technique, one of the oldest known to mankind: felting.

By forcing me to confront the fibre, texture, and colour without technical artifice and, so to speak, with my bare hands, the practice of felting represents a real revolution in my artistic career, allowing me to access the very heart of a place of excitement and great creative freedom.

After spending nearly forty years creating unique pieces of “wearable art,” I gradually withdrew from the world of fashion design to focus on creating wall art, where I enjoy exploring the mysteries of a textile language that is seductive and colourful, meaningful and open-minded.

Today, I am delving into the heritage of world cultures, primitive art, hieroglyphics, cuneiform writing, pictograms, and ideograms, which I enjoy distorting, diverting, and reinterpreting in order to explore the intimate and subtle links between tradition and modernity.
