About The Artwork

I was inspired by looking at Miro’s collage painting and drawing-collage from 1933-34 where he used sandpaper either as a surface or as a part of the piece. I was also revisiting the surrealist approach of exquisite corpse which is the sum of eclectic part.
 I experimented with different collaged materials this time: sand paper (to express rawness and prickliness) and peeled off dried acrylic paint. The reason for that what to show paint in more that one form. The dried up paint is a residue from the action painting and I enjoyed juxtaposing these different treatments. It is pertaining to this idea of flotsam and jetsam that is very dear to me: the debris we carry with us, that become stuck to one’s identity like moss growing on a rock or barnacles living on the immersed part of a ship.

I create colourful dreamscapes inhabited by silhouettes of living creatures longing for an Elsewhere. My work evokes our endless quest for an elusive destination (be it a higher ground or a different emotional state) by contrasting movement and stillness, shadows and light, emotions and reality. One of my trademarks is the use of collaged elements, interwoven in complex layers of acrylics paint, to reflect the flotsam and jetsam of life. My colours are vivid: reflecting where I grew up (Caribbean and Morocco). Other key influences have been my travels and the works of Matisse, Frida Kahlo & Karin Mamma Anderson.
