Ki
in Japanese is the energy of the body and the soul 
, the energy of birth.
Ki juice is the juice of life.
The abstract pop art parts in my paintings represent energy centers like opened chakras that I call “ki juices.
For
many years my painting was purely instinctive, a desire
for action in a world ever more artificial and virtual.
My first subjects were women and bulls, as they were
painted in the caves of my region. For me, these were
an expression of the yin and yang of my southern Europe
origins.
Originality : from an abstract "ki Juice" part of my paintings i created virtually "the Rabbit Man" as on the left ...
From this creative and virtual work i created the Mask of the "Rabbit Man" at my size.
As in the photo "I have been wearing this mask and then i became my painting" by performing in Tokyo Subway and streets.... ( winter 2010 group exhibition No Man's Land" in Tokyo, with Boltanski ...).
Photos have been integrated on the walls of the exhibiton as a "road book".

Specialty : filming my paintings
and animating them in video.
