“Sanar” means “to heal” in Spanish.
My friend Katy who lives in Venezuela was asking me to paint the word “Sanar” next time I come over. In her low-income neighbourhood of Petare, she’s been working for years for people to come together and heal their community regardless of political views.
I made this riso print with the situation in Venezuela in mind. You’ll recognise the map of Venezuela, the horse and orchid – symbols of the country, and a kite, a symbol of Petare and other slum areas where kite flying is very popular.
Lo siento, no puedo enviar a Venezuela.

Libertad
Bandiera de la Libertad – 50x80cm cotton fabric.
From time to time I like to putting the brushes aside and sewing pieces of fabric together. My work is generally built like a patchwork anyway and I was taught to sew to make flags, so I find the medium suitable. But every time I get the sewing machine out, I’m reminded of how slow I am with it.

Fiu du tans – Caen
This is the bridge I painted to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of my home city Caen (Normandy).
Each pattern or pictogram is a reference to a specific event of the city’s rich history. I painted them in chronological order, starting with the Middle Ages on the left, the 100-year war, the foundation of the University, and reaching the French Revolution in the middle of the bridge where I wrote the name of the city. Then further to the right patterns refer to the modern era, the industrial revolution, the foundation of the football club, the second war, and then the newest buildings like the 2 concert halls.
I’ve called the work “Fiu du tans” which literally means “string of time” but is a phrase meaning “over time” in Norman.
It was great fun painting above the water right in the heart of my city! Big thank you to Mathias Courtet for choosing me and trusting me with this large scale mural!
