I cut out (a scandal?...) an original albumen print of the XIXth century, portrait of Cleopatra, from the Temple of Denderah, (Ancient Egypt, dedicated to Hathor goddess of love), entitled "Cleopatra and her" cartouche "" ... Then I doubled her face with a very beautiful Renaissance feminine portrait, surmounted by a work (detail) by the artist Alina Szapocznikow, recently "rediscovered" during an exhibition at MOMA (NY). And finally I contrasted her naked body with the very current one, from a fashion magazine. The whole is mounted on a lettrist cardboard, design japonese packaging. Thus Cleopatra, mythic object of all fantasies, crosses the centuries from ancient Egypt until 2021, a troubled year!

France
I was born in Le Vigan, small town in the South of France. I studied at the Universty of Montpellier Pharmacy and Medecine. I owe to Marc Dautry, classic engraver and sculptor (Montauban), to have been very early initiated to the field of Art. Later I met the surrealist painter, Bernard Louedin (Trebeurden), and developped a passion for this movement. I live and work now in Haute-Savoie near Annecy (France) and Geneva (Switzerland). At first glance my activity as Dr in medical biology did not predispose me to the practice of collage and photomontage if not my passion for Art,photography, surrealism, specially Man Ray, Dora Maar, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Magritte and Hannah Hoch. My meeting with Josephine Sacabo, american photographer, was decisive; she introduced me to this art, and incited me to "always shift forward the reality". And this the way each of my collages is inspired by transposing fragments of live, where feelings, fantasies, and personal concerns are mingled. Beyond the resear that each project involves (magazines of art or photography, newspapers, photos, advertisings), beyond the time splent for realizig the work, beyond aesthetic concerns, the final result often emerges from these contengencies, and escape from the original idea, to become another, only remains the sincerity.
