I was handicaped during several years, considering all the time I spent in re-education centers and having to wear the corsets, i had few friends and few hobbies.
My painting and my draws where my refuge. It was an extraordinary adventure to be able to escape through my drawing and to travel through my imagination. Everything was possible ! That’s helps me out a lot.
I was lucky to travel all over the world for several years.
I always had a schedule with me and I would pile up in my studio that I used often for my collage in my canvases. My studio was a real bric à brac, my children loved it.
As for today i don’t travel anymore around the planet, but through my mother’s humanitarian travelling and missions around the world, I nourrish myself through her discoveries. She brings back many pictures and writings I would love to coordinate for future show a similar work with my mother. »
