„Souffrance“ („Suffering“) is another painting that helped me access some deep emotions and make truly visible that not everything in my life was light and love but also darkness and pain. I avoided feeling a lot of my own pain for a long time and kept „busy“ instead,...

“La transparence des larmes” (the transparency of tears) – a title which carries so much meaning for me. Tears flowed when I painted this canvas, liberating and beautiful. I paid attention to them and was able to see what was behind them, what they...

Transformation. This painting has become my lucky star. From the moment that Martin, mon amour, displayed it on the wall of our living room, my other paintings, starting with #8, then #11 and #12, started to make their way to other people’s walls. It’s a...
