“La mailles, le point, la ligne, le fil, la couleur.”

On the islands of Lake Titicaca, the weavers are mostly men.
They go everywhere with their tools, weaving on every path and in all weathers.
Their weavings are also part of their skin, as they wear their stories. This second skin has had a profound effect on him, crochet has become an extension of his body, enabling him both to meditate and to express his story and his personality.

His art is based on the repetition of the technique of crochet, then associated with different materials and mediums.

His goal is to discover the range of abilities offered by this technique and if possible to discover a new way of using those tools.
Each of his creations represents a lived moment filled with emotions and transcribed by mesh, point, line, thread, color. The repetitions of his daily life.
