Personality

Antique statue in Versailles

My fascination with antiquity, a sort of golden world, evolved like ours, without the current darkness, more a fantasy than a reality. Adoration for statues in particular, the meaning of myths, the representation of ideal bodies, stereotype of the strong man moreover. The expression of postures, faces, symbolized greatness.

Calm colored lamps

The subdued lights, suitable for appeasement and rest, arrange the lamps to make a source of calm and diffused light.

Olive trees fed by the southern sun

My Mediterranean side certainly. The olive trees, trees with tortured curves, which for thousands of years have given olives and oils. The gray reflections of the leaves in the wind, the refreshing fresh fruit, the natural well-being.

The antique lantern , the travel's fantasy

Take your car, your tent, a sleeping bag, want to go into nature, take a break from the bustle of the world, find a calm, around a campfire, the cracklings, the nocturnal insects, the stars, finally visible outside the cities.

Fresh fruit salad

Fruits, the basis of my diet, so much and more a day. Sugar, natural, real sugar, among the best tastes there is. Daily fruit salads, or chain clementines and cherries at the right times.

Eiffel Tower in the trees

European, Westerner, inhabitant of the world, and attached to France, to what it is still supposed to mean. A few years lived in Paris, without having taken advantage of it. The marvelous of the Eiffel Tower in my eyes, a mixture of old and new, timeless, so tall and proud.

Want to see further, discover the beauty of human constructions, their cultures, their genius, the impression that one can create eternal splendors.

Wheat in the sun

Wheat, along with olive oil and wine, the food of our distant ancestors. Fields as far as the eye can see, the flour, the mill, the baking of bread in the oven. All that picturesque, but so simple and beautiful.

Waterfall water

Water, again and again, composing it with light. Living water, unstoppable, soaring from the oceans, clouds carried over thousands of kilometers, to pour out and make all existence possible on the earth, which meanders or descends, regroups and grows, to emerge years later, purified by sediment, before returning to the oceans.

My violon, gorgeous

One of the most precious items in my life.
Sometimes an object can be important indeed, rarely.
A love at first sight. An instrument, not only.
Intimate, fragile, something feminine. An immense range of sound and expression.
A difficult job also to tame it, and I’m still only at the real beginning.
Built over a century ago, which has gone through wars to come to me.

Skiing in the heights, enveloped in the cold of the mountains

To feel the elements of the Earth, this powerful cold, to remember to be tiny here, to regain consciousness that the world does not belong to us. The snow-capped mountain is the best place for these impressions. And enjoy the rare calm, everything is suspended, not a sound, barely the flight of an eagle.

Awakening in the sun in Ardèche

One morning in Ardèche, waking up with your friends in a stone house, enjoying the silence of nature, the rising heat during the summer, peaceful life outside the cities, work, bustle and stress , just sit down, discuss, laugh, enjoy the present moment.

Plate of fresh vegetables

Want fresh vegetables, prepared as a starter, daily, another gift of nature, just bend down and collect something to eat, season with a house pepper vinaigrette, vary the simple tastes, eat healthy.

Rivers of water

The ideal playground, river water, wading, strolling with your feet in the water, refreshing yourself, calm down to the sound, throw leaves, build dams, fish for fish with your bare hands.

Lavenders and lavandins

Lavandin, the scent of the South, rub your hands with it, let the grains fall, keep it dry in a sewn bag, see the immense fields at the bottom of the austere stone abbeys, taste the honey, the best, fresh, rich and sweet.

Parc de la Tête d'Or in autumn

A refuge, the Tête d’Or park in Lyon, a few minutes by bike and suddenly calm, nature rediscovered. Lie down on a blanket, bask in the sun, eat, read, fall asleep.

Eiffel Tower construction map

Build, my absolute.

Draft, plan, realize. Analyze objects and systems, understand how things work, acquire knowledge. Experiment, invent, create.

Winegrower's bread, shepherd's knife and honey

Taste the breads, get closer to the traditions, those baked in the oven, which leaves a blackness on contact, find older flour. A sharp knife, the pleasure of cutting a piece. And the honeys, always the honeys, all the scents, all the tastes of the flowers of the world.

The way to go

An alley in Uzès, the invading darkness, but the possible path, the half-opening of a door to the sun, a form of salvation, the possible choice, if one progresses.
