La Belle au mouillage de San Benito,


Collage and mixed-media, Sainte-Ode, Belgium.

Self-taught, since 1990. Occasional courses according to the needs of the moment.

 

My imaginary is nourished by the touch and the scent of old paper, the nostalgia of vintage illustrations and manuscripts, the stories antique frames and objects may tell.

I take pleasure in discovering unexpected matches between all these materials.

I’m fascinated by their sentimental value. I create a whole new universe for these objects as if they were all coming from my own attic.

The old books I use are also a manner to explore another way of thinking, which shows through the pages and the words. As a 21st-century woman, I give them a second life and address themes that are still relevant today. I also add my sense of humour and my poetry.

To me, making collages is like time-travelling. I can turn back the clock and get closer to the surrealist artists I admire so much by playing with illustrations similar to theirs.

I also like the challenge of working only by hand, with original images.
