My lifelong passion for botany has made water lilies one of my favorite flowers. Indeed, they rise from the water, open in the morning and close at night, like a metaphor for life. My painting draws a line between the immersion of water lilies, in reference to Monet, and the management of heightened emotions. 

I'm also talking about the ability of each of us to bury the dark sides of our lives in the underworld. The use of the “tondo” format underlines the sense of infinity. The majesty of these flowers gives a positive boost to our modern, sometimes hectic lives.
