Entangled (2017)

Informed by the Standpoint Theory, according to which no point of view is absolute, just as everyone's perspectives are limitless, I wonder about the perception of family relationships by the different actors. Over the generations, the intangible heritage reveals multiple ambivalences, unspoken words and power games animated by the questions of the time in terms of race, gender, economic situation and culture.

In this series, I base myself on family photographies. My approach is narrative. The playful treatment of these paintings is meant to contrast with the psychological weight of the subject.
