Since my early childhood, I found that playing in the countryside opened gates to the imaginary . I was visualising on the screen of my mind paintings which I didn't understand at the time to discover later on in life, they were a precise and deep code of the adults' dramas and emotions who had gone through a traumatic wartime.

I lived and worked as an artist in residence in the Uk , in an american university and a primary school and found that in all age groups, the awareness of one's emotions and gesture, an utter relaxation and confidence were suddenly unleashing floodates of creativity and skills to all age groups. So, with this universal key, I defended children's art as a true value ( with the national Gallery).and pioneered children's exhibitions in Paris on the theme of music with the support of Roy Pickering, former artist and educator at Tate modern and Tate Britain.I also worked in French schools with the contemporary composer Walter Fabeck,advocated as a Delegate of Engage for the the sharing of creativity through interactive art and the definition of ethics attached to such sharing.

It was while listening to music and looking at the sea that I had discovered another dimension to perception .I always explored this fusion of sound and image, in my work and my teaching .

Art, is by essence , a rhythm, the precise, musical code or language of our intuition.Art is the architecture of our heart and consciousness,

The sea from Debussy

Music and images are the same vibration, the same wave of emotion and energy.
Let's perceive the world through music its rhythms to discover our own inner architecture, creativity, thoughts patterns.
In the sequence of perception, from a first impact or pure feel we visualise as an abstract pattern we gradually form on the inner screen of our mind some awaken dreams or surrealistic imags which are the most precise code or language, the images we breathe and think with.

Every music has its own images;

From line to colour, from abstraction to representation and surrealism, music opens a universal gate to our own infinite jouneys, like a fabric weaved with ribbons of light which define some paths beyond the frame of our consciousness. (Rossocinabro gallery Rome)
