Cliff, faces, trays. wrinkles, bodies, faults, baobab barks, skins, architectures... My landscapes are portraits, my portraits are landscapes. Images of places and individuals with a singular identity, which I need to isolate so that it escapes the anecdote and is thus invested with a timeless scope. Reveal without betraying them these majestic landscapes and these dignified and vulnerable beings that move me, disturb me and arouse my admiration. Pay tribute, according to the motto of the Dogon on the altar of their ancestors, to these "balancers of degrees", to these great bauticians-sculptors who are Nature and Man.
