Mon vocabulaire s'ouvre à la recherche du mouvement - et des espaces multiples - animant le plan de la surface peinte. Le cercle et le triangle, traités tour à tour et séparément, sont des thèmes privilégiés de compositions sérielles où la simplicité extrême des formes est transfigurée par l'intensité chaque fois différente des rapports de couleur. »
(My vocabulary is open to the research of movement – and of multiple spaces – which animates the plan of the painted surface. The circle and the triangle, addressed one after the other and separately, are my favorite topics of serial compositions where the extreme simplicity of the shapes is transfigured by the intensity, every time different of the color relationship)
