I made a series of 8 paintings presenting women in an urban environment.

The world of the street is a "bouillon de vie", a place favourable to freedom of expression in the diversity of scenes it offers. It is an open-air theatre, a place of intense activity, a transit zone. It brings together cultures, ages and sexes. It is rich in experience and gives off great energy.

Women evolve in an indeterminate space-time, highlighting her own condition, but also that of the human being by questioning the meaning of existence. These suspended moments give an impression of communion with something greater, something beyond us all.

These concerns echo within me and take me back to the dawn of my life, when I was brutally cut off from my source, my mother, and also from my twin sister, spending endless days in a closed and hermetic universe, that of the incubator. This was my first experience of the solitude of being and this state of consciousness has been imprinted on me. I look at the world with hindsight and I question existence in all its thickness.

I have come to terms with it and now I fully accept this place which gives me a feeling of freedom.

To embody the values I cherish, I selected evocative characters to whom I attributed the names of Etruscan deities. In this civilisation, the role of women was predominant, both politically and administratively. She participated in social life in the same way as men, taking part in public ceremonies, dances, games and banquets. She was free, independent and autonomous.
