Back to the Source of Creativity, Beauty and Consciousness
Eagles, Butterflies and Flowers teach us to transform the emotions and events that sometimes make us feel like caterpillars... As a gift, a fairy tale that I wrote and illustrated a few years ago, for all children (even grown-up ones) who already know or still don't know they have wings...

A reflection on the long periods of creative incubation, often experienced with a heavy heart by many artists; once again, this heaviness found relief through the creative process itself, which gave life to a collage. My hope is that the words and the Soul-Image that inspired them will be of relief to you too.
This article continues my inquiry into the deeper meaning of Art as a Portal to the Numinous. Drawing from Kashmiri ลaivism, Jung, and contemporary spiritual teachers/artists like Igor Kufayev and Rupert Spira, I explore how True Art transcends time, space and identity. Through Art, our Heart becomes the sacred place where the ecstatic Essence of our true Being and the Source of Consciousness enter into mutual resonance, offering a taste of Peace and Wonder.

Along the way, I discovered that it could also allude to an inner circular path, where the beginning and the end coincide.
With the help of six Soul-Images which represent the Grail, this article is an invitation to cross a mysterious inner Threshold; it opens onto a space where the boundary between self and experience becomes blurred, diaphanous, allowing for a quiet and powerful Presence. Here the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine meet.
A series of five collages dedicated to Myriam, my grandmother, but also to Myriam who embodied the Eternal Feminine two millennia ago. An invitation to cross the inner threshold of the attentive and still Heart...
Link to the video, and a collection of pictures and the description of my four 2023 artworks, which form a series inspired by the Taoist poetic concept of Li (็), the mysterious thread that beautifully connects all living things.
Indeed, it seems that we are living in a dark and challenging era. However, there are signs of an impending rebirth: the ancient oracle book called Yi Jing (I Ching) perhaps illustrates it in three of its sixty-four hexagrams. This is a reflection stemming from two of my Soul-Images...
