La fascination qu'exerce 'la femme'
La fascination naturelle de l'homme par la femme est peut-être accentuée dans mon cas par le fait que je n'ai eu ni sœur ni cousine dans mon entourage familial courant, et que je n'ai fréquenté, jusqu'à tard dans ma jeunesse, que très peu de filles.
La femme reste donc pour moi, encore maintenant, un mystère d'une densité étonnante.
L'attirance que je ressens est donc toujours teintée d'une part d'incompréhension qui sollicite obligatoirement mon imagination, surtout quand il s'agit d'en faire une représentation.
Artistic intention
I am able today to express some of the emotions on which my current work is founded:
Amazement in front of “fecundity”
In this approach, the pregnant woman finds a place primarily right.
By the means of my amazement in front of the magic of gestation, there is an obvious place for the spontaneous appreciation of the developed shapes of the pregnant woman, in this already sumptuous amplitude, their paramount reality of life.
It is so delightful to exaggerate these volumes, thanks to the right to disproportion of the bodies carved in the clay.
My current production is mainly dedicated like an anthem to femininity and fecundity.
In addition, it is not impossible that artistic creation is for me a means of compensating for frustration due to the limitations my “male being” - It is a little like granting the capacity to let germinate in oneself, in an improbable matrix, seed of an embryo (of artistic work?), and to give it a chance to be born from itself.
Fascination in front of “the woman”
Perhaps the natural fascination of the man by the woman was accentuated in my case by the fact that I had neither sister, nor female cousin in my family surroundings, and that I did not go around with girls, until late in my youth.
The woman thus remains for me, still now, a mystery of an astonishing density.
Attraction that I feel is always tinted with incomprehension which requests obligatorily a big amount of my imagination, especially when it is a question of making a representation of her .
