The young girls have grown up; they have become young women. Still mischievous and close. One of them finally stole a piece of the canvas and is eating it like cotton candy... or is the canvas made of candy, like the gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel? Is there a trap? You shouldn’t always trust pleasant colors and lighthearted fun, should you?

The Lascivious
Intruding upon the intimacy of women’s spaces has always been a central theme, a source of fantasies and questions, whether in 17th- or 18th-century literature. In the works of Crébillon, Prévost, or Marivaux, many characters seek to observe without being seen, to cross that invisible boundary that separates the private from the public. Their desire is twofold: to enter the bedroom, a secret and protected space, and then to approach that sleeping body, suspended between vulnerability and absence. Sleep, that state of total absorption, becomes the mirror of the inaccessible. The voyeur projects himself into it, in search of a wholeness that eludes him. In this space, the man often imagines that the woman, lost in her sleep, is waiting only for a presence, an intrusion. This fantasy serves to justify an intrusion into a world where the other, the object of desire, seems to exist to be seen and possessed.

The images: In “Night Dream,” the images come from childhood memories, blending reality and imagination with all the accuracy, but also the disproportion that these memories can evoke. They oscillate between fear, mystery, and fascination. The night dream becomes a source of poetry and creates a space where mythical, philosophical, or social narratives can emerge. The works invite the viewer to interpret the images, to let themselves be carried away and create their own story, myth, or fable.
Myths and legends are still alive. Somewhere between contemporary fiction and ancient exaggeration, the characters are frozen in their stories, like Han Solo frozen in carbonite. With no expiration date, more lifelike than life itself, untouched by cosmetic surgery—save for the hammers and chisels of stone. Only the explorer and his guide seek to discover these stone artifacts. What is their goal: a quest for perfection? To discover marble-white beings with extraordinary stories? Perhaps, but even here, Medusa has her head cut off!
About the Artist
A visual artist trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, I have exhibited in France and Quebec. After creating ephemeral performance pieces centered on grass clothing, my practice now focuses on painting and three-dimensional objects. My work was recently presented at the Piéto-Expo at the Maison de la culture Claude Léveillé and in solo exhibitions at the Galerie perchée, the Maison de la culture Rosemont–Petite-Patrie, the Marc Favreau Library, the CALAL in Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, and the Beaubien Cinema in Montreal.
“My work is part of a reflection on renewal as a slow process, made up of repetitions, shifts, and reinterpretations rather than sharp breaks. Through the collage and assemblage of archival images, I explore how landscapes, narratives, and identities transform over time, depending on the perspectives and contexts in which they are observed.”
