You can find here the keys to “ilu”, my self-invented phonetical alphabet.
Seeking to reconcile the drawing and writing, I gradually moved away from our Latin alphabet. I completely reformulated its architecture in space, since it no longer answered to my questions about meaning of form and substance. Thus was born, after long maturing in my drawers, “ilu”, an original phonetic system. With this raw material I write, I draw, I point out by colored contrasts these “signs-vehicles” that speak to us, able to denote the existences, sounds, senses, like an embryonic language. Following sometimes forms, sometimes sounds, sometimes the colors I constantly discover senses and non-senses, that will give depth to my paintings inherently flat and mute.The foreign script that we can neither speak nor understand, even though we can see it and perceive its “voice”, will push our imagination to fill in the gaps to animate the scene, “Your scene”.
Every Beginning is an End
Difficulty in defining something
What is it? Where does it start, how far does it go? One could say that its beginning leads to its end – an end that is the beginning of something else… The same happens at its center : Moving from the beginning toward the end, we arrive at a center. This middle is also the other middle coming from the end. It’s exactly the same center with two different names. Likewise, the end is the the same as the new beginning. Or the beginning is the same as the end that came befor.
