A doctor of economics and a researcher (Avignon école Supérieure d’Art and CNRS-GREQAM), he questions our relationship to the world in the form of mathematics and produces equations that are all rigorous, but sensitive poems. The artist’s aim, using mathematics as a tool, is to re-conquer unexplored fields of consciousness and human relations. What evades us, what is concealed, finds a meditative density when it is summed up in a formula. From one formula to the next, it is a question of reducing the internal maze within each individual, that labyrinthine distance that separates us from ourselves, from what we think we are, from what we dream of being.
