　A thin layer like a curtain that we go through when we enter a different dimension
　A frontier between visible and invisible things
　Something like a feeling, an image or a residual scent

The mysterious existences floating in the air, aside from our world, that I've sensed in the main hall of the temple where I used to go with my father for his work ...

　Like celestial nymphs, like angels
　Or even like pixies

It is especially those beings that I want to translate in my prints.

The scenes of daily life in my illustrations are the places of my dreams, my own inner landscape: sometimes it is the veranda in the house where my mother was born, sometimes it's a sewing machine in my childhood house.

Unconsciously, I put the "air of someone".

Inframince ...
existences who always stand modestly beside you, even if you cannot see them ... That's what I want to communicate through my works.
