My work is like delving into a dangerous space, a strange, enigmatic, endless tunnel where you never reach full satisfaction and which sometimes creates the greatest of worries.

I once read an anonymous tip that is as simple as it is efficient and crucial: “Do what you have to and don’t worry about the reactions, whether good or bad. If the work is worth it, it will end up standing out one way or another. In the meantime, get on with working…”

My work is like delving into a dangerous space, a strange, enigmatic, endless tunnel where you never reach full satisfaction and which sometimes creates the greatest of worries.

STANCE talks about taking up a standpoint, the correct one for yourself, within the countless voices, lives and circumstances that make up each of us.

In all creative processes, one is worried about the structure, the posture and the selection. This is a constant concern in a world as visual and as absolutely defined which sometimes even becomes unscrupulous.

“Own identity”, I have always liked calling this cliché into question and wonder what would happen if you didn’t have one? It is not a question of not wanting to have one, but the fact that each of us is filled with different identities, and that, as a result, combining them confers an own voice, a position, a form, a definition, a character… to sum up, an own identity.

My interest in my work mostly lies in my position above and beyond my identity. Visual identity is nothing without the support of feeling and thought.
