Why ?

In this episode, I take you with me to Rome, to The National Roman Museum.My work is often rooted in observing the history of images: the way artists have constructed forms, colors, and visual narratives throughout time.In Rome, ancient frescoes have been a particularly strong source of inspiration for me.What I am seeking here is not only to look at ancient artworks, but to understand how they were conceived:how color structures space, how light is suggested through pigment.These questions directly resonate with my printmaking practice, where every choice of contrast, composition, and visual rhythm is essential.In this journey, I begin with the painted garden of the Villa of Livia, an immersive fresco that completely transforms the perception of space.We are no longer facing a decorative image, but an environment constructed through color.The interplay of pigments, the transitions of tones, and the way light is simulated all relate to very contemporary questions of image-making.As an artist, these discoveries directly feed my research: they influence the way I think about printmaking, the structure of my images, and my relationship with color.
