THE PROCEDURE IS ALWAYS THE SAME. I WAKE UP BETWEEN 4:30 AM AND 6:30 AM. IT DEPENDS ON THE SEASON. I RUB MY EYES SO THAT PHOSPHENES APPEAR. I NOTE WHAT I SEE WITH EYES CLOSED. I PAINT IT. ALL TABLES ARE THE SAME SIZE: 160 X 200 X 4.5 CM

Paris, 2004
3 plates of colored glass come to settle on a monochrome mural painting.
The color of the glass and the color of the mural painting mix.
The viewer never sees the true color of the painted wall.
What the viewer sees is neither in the glass nor in the paint.
It only exists in the eye of the viewer.
Glass plans actually projects colored light on the mural painting.
The strength of this projection depends on the ambient light.
This creates very subtle gradients, intangible and totally impossible to do by hand.

Full Hole
Paris, 2014
The work consists of one framed photo. The glass in the frame is a pink colored glass. This photo shows a viewpoint of the wall. It is printed to the dimensions of the wall to create the illusion that the wall continues into the picture. So there is a privileged point of view for the viewer to reconstruct perfectly the illusion. The viewer has the impression of seeing the wall through a colored glass.
Moving the viewer will deconstruct this illusion in trompe l’oeil.

the green ray
Paris 2001
Collection of the City of Paris
2 sheets of colored glass are placed in inclined Plan on a white wall. A yellow glass and blue glass.
The glass projects a yellow colored light on the white wall. The blue glass projects a blue light.
The intensity of the projections depends on the ambient light.
It appears a halo of green light. This color does not exist.
Just look behind the glass plates to realize it. The green halo is not there.
What the viewer sees is neither in the glass nor in the white wall.
It exists only in the eye of the viewer.
The green ray is immaterial and totally impossible to do by hand.

coin
Paris 1998
1 colored glass plate is placed on a monochrome wall painting.
Painting and glass form an angle. This creates a closed space for the movement of people
but open to light. The drop shadow of colored glass colored the painting.
What the viewer sees is then neither in the glass nor in the paint.
It exists only in the eye of the viewer.
It depends on ambient light.
This creates very subtle, intangible and totally impossible to do by hand gradients.
