Light and language as a multicultural combination of art and philosophy
In my study of artists' books, which introduced the innovative term "Livres de dialogue" (dialog books), the focus is on the creative exchange between poet and painter - a clear contrast to the traditional illustrated book of poetry. This approach reflects my own philosophy of life: collaborative partnerships at eye level. In my artwork, too, I always strive for a harmonious balance in which colors, shapes and brushstrokes are perfectly coordinated.
The result? Paintings that radiate a deep calm despite their vibrant colors. My clients often say: "Your art combines German determination with French elegance" and "You can feel the power of German expressionism together with the poetry of lyrical abstraction." In the work "Into the Light" I have integrated the word "light" in many languages. It symbolizes how outer and inner light cross boundaries and create deep connections between us humans.
Here is an exciting video about a collector who bought this work. Rodolphe discovered it during my exhibition "Couleurs en Acte" at the Pavillon Vendôme art gallery in Clichy. He was immediately impressed and bought the artwork as a birthday surprise for his wife Anne. We have captured this touching story in two captivating YouTube videos. Watch the videos and find out how this special surprise came about!
As precious as a treasure
Artists' books are real treasures, as they are only available in limited editions and are made from high-quality materials such as handmade paper and handcrafted prints (lithography, screen printing, etc.).
These special books have inspired me to integrate exquisite materials into my collages. At my exhibitions, I make sure that my presentation is first-class by using high-quality flyers and the best papers for my art postcards.

Discover the magic of artists' books
Through my doctoral thesis, in which I analyzed artists' books, I experienced how poetry and painting coexist harmoniously. Working with poets and painters inspired me so much that I entered into my own collaborations.
I have expressed my passion for Paris in my artist books, particularly in collaboration with the poet Francine Caron. We have created several works together, including 'Auf nach Paris' ('Paris par içi', published by Donner à voir, Le Mans, 2016)."
The integration of Yves Peyré's verses into my work "Stars of the Soul" was particularly moving. This experience showed me how powerful the combination of poetry and painting can be.
A feast for the senses: Rimbaud, Baudelaire and the power of color
Rimbaud's riot of color
"A passionate yet harmonious dance that appeals to all the senses."

Poetic language has a wonderful ability to evoke certain feelings and vivid images in us.
I draw my artistic inspiration from the power of color as uniquely embodied by Rimbaud and Baudelaire. This is particularly impressive in my series "Rimbaud's Color Rush", in which I reinterpret the vivid and contrasting color worlds of this avant-garde poet.
"True poetry is the pursuit of eternity in the moment," Rimbaud wrote, and it is precisely this pursuit that is reflected in my work.
