Estran
is the third of the notebooks I have published.

These notebooks were born from a desire to create a series of traces from fragments, snippets of images and words, letting them slide across the surface of consciousness and perception…

It is a sensitive journey, a poetic drift, a kind of mechanism summoning multiple inner layers, connected to my practice of painting and photography, as well as the reflections that accompany this creative process.

The images in these notebooks—whether painted or derived from photographs—belong to an inner reservoir, forming a mental and sensory foundation for my work.
The development of a notebook follows a process of multiple adjustments, successive and contradictory combinations, with inversions and reversals, gradually leading to the fragile emergence of a form of continuity.

The resulting notebook object is an attempt at the fragile stabilization of an impossible statement, with uncertain appearances. Something alive, at least, I hope so.

Estran explores delicate spaces linked to origins, to the shifting state of things, to the perception of their existence.

Between sudden appearances and disappearances, wandering paths with coded intentions.
What emerges here is not explicit; by nature, it remains incomplete, torn from oblivion, stolen from the will to understand.

A rustling of images, fading breaths.
It speaks of traces, of sudden manifestations, of subtle shifts.
A trajectory like a circle, widening or contracting in loops.

Estran est le troisième des carnets que j'ai édités.

Ces carnets sont nés d’un désir de créer une série de traces à partir de fragments , de bribes d’images et de mots ,  les laissant glisser à la surface de la conscience et de la perception…

Il s'agit là d'une traversée sensible, d'un glissement poétique,  d’une espèce de mécanisme convoquant de multiples strates  intérieures , en lien avec ma pratique de création picturale, et photographique ainsi que des réflexions qui accompagnent cette pratique de création.

Les images de ces carnets, qu’elles soient peintes ou issues de photos appartiennent à un vivier intérieur, qui constitue une forme de base mentale et sensible à mon travail.
L’élaboration d’un carnet procède d’un assemblage à réglages multiples, de combinaisons successives contradictoires, avec  inversions et retournements, amenant progressivement à l’émergence fragile d’une forme de continuité.

L’objet carnet qui en résulte, est une tentative de stabilisation fragile d’un propos impossible aux apparences incertaines. Donc quelque chose de vivant.  Du moins, je l’espère.

Estran aborde des espaces sensibles liés aux origines , aux glissements de l’état des choses, à la perception de leur existence.

Entre surgissements et disparitions, arpenter les chemins aux desseins codés
Ce qui apparaît là n’est pas explicite, et est par nature incomplet, arraché à l’oubli, volé à la volonté de comprendre.

Un bruissement d’images, des souffles qui s’estompent.
Il est question de traces , de surgissements , de glissements. Une trajectoire comme circulaire , en boucles s ‘élargissant ou se contractant.
