I only paint to try to tell something, I only paint to feel alive. It doesn’t matter the machine, I just need the fuel to create, If ideas are like droplets, the world is a tremendous ocean. There are droplets in my mind and I need to take care of them. When I am fine, my Sun converts the droplets into clouds, Thanks to my Moon, the rain becomes a river irrigating my soul, The Sun and the Moon drive the dance with the fuel for life, It’s a merry go round ride, it’s a move that we call emotion. When I listen to patients stories, I give them a warm welcome, My Sun loses all its energy so the droplets begin to be heavier, Then I feel stuck and frozen, indifferent to the human world. That’s why I paint, to reconnect me and recharge my batteries. When I feel complete, satisfied by the fulfilment of a dream, My Sun is overproud and eclipses the cold power of the Moon, Then I am on the seven heaven, disconnected from the reality, I waste of my droplets in the air. On waking, I feel empty inside. When I draw without inspiration, this is just a graphic question, I don’t exist in these pictures, they are dry like a forced smile. Then I need to take a new look at myself, I listen to my doubts. The introspection always balances the Sun and the Moon powers. Water and Art reflect my light, my image, my vision of the world, Both can nourrish, carry, transform, dillute, extinguish the fire in me, Both are the fuel of my life, an open door of my narcissistic realm. Those droplets in my mind are my most treasured possessions.

It’s easy to be wrong, don’t judge by appearances. You don’t really know me, there is a tree in my heart. Sheltered behind its leaves, you can find shy notes, And if you gather them, you can hear me breathing. French : C’est si facile de se tromper, ne jugez pas sur l’apparence. Vous ne me connaissez pas vraiment, il y a un arbre dans mon coeur. Et, abritées derrière ses feuilles, il y a des petites notes de musiques, Si vous prennez le temps de les rassembler, vous m’entendrez respirer.

Each second that passes is a tear that I erase,Each minute that crawls by is a stream that I conceal, Each hour that drags on is a river that I obscure, Because each time I dream, it’s a misery that I drain. French : Chaque seconde qui chemine est une larme que j’efface, Chaque minute qui se traîne est une rivière que je cache, Chaque heure qui paresse est un fleuve que j’éclipse, Car chaque fois que je rêve, c’est une peine que j’assèche.

Death leaves traces, After freezing time and space, Nothing is lost, Everything is transformed, Creation is a child, Born of Life and Destruction. So, don’t get cold, The springtime is in our hand. French : La mort laisse des traces Après avoir figé temps et espace, Rien ne se perd, Tout est là, tout se transforme, La création est un enfant, Né de la Vie et de la Destruction, Alors, n’attrappe pas froid, Le printemps est dans nos mains.

In the school of life you will learn the Shame,You will find that your place isn’t on the Earth, In your schoolbag, some echoes of loneliness.
The shame is a jam which blushes and spreades, As a magnet for stray laughs, jeers and smiles. You will be the center of a giant world wide web, The object used to unwind when other are bored, The deposit of what they refuse in their house. In the school of life you will also learn the honour. No reason to shy away from this, you can enhance, Being proud to give everybody a place and a chance. The daring to think everybody born in the difference, As a unique shade of a rainbow but not only a colour. ‘Cause hair or skin can’t mask that every hearts are red.

It’s time to awaken from these illusions,You delude yourself with a fake mirroir, My voice can cut this glass of your head, I can break the ground barrier of shed. You aren’t sleeping but you aren’t living, Laying down on your couch all day long, You aren’t bored but you aren’t smiling, I can turn you upside down with a song. You do know me, my name is Desire,I live in the deep waters of your body, I emerge when Sloth reigns higher, Let me sound and clash in your house.

Les promesses d’une romance I promise to write you an original story, You can forget what you know about love, I promise to inscribe each day as your day, To entitle the chapter One with our names, I promise to reinvent a meaning for Romance, To be too old to remember how it started. French : Les promesses d’une romance Je promets de t’écrire une histoire originale, Tu peux oublier ce que tu connais de l’amour, Je promets de faire de chaque jour ton jour, D’intituler le premier chapitre de nos noms, Je promets de réinventer le mot Romance, De finir trop vieux pour m’en rappeler le début.

Don’t trash your dreams, they deserve a better lot, another goal,
I know it’s hard, long, and sometimes, the result is disappointing,
But, don’t trash them, talk about what you expect from the world,
Talk about your hates, your fears, your perplexity, your wishes,…

Please, don’t trash your ideas, you hide treasures in your head,
You forget to breathe, your are snuffing out the flame in you,
Don’t give up, please, you are a working of the human evolution,
We are young, we need to evolve and you are one of our echos…

Singing about you is singing about us, hustle and open our mind,
Don’t trash your dreams, you’ll get bored and make war to have fun,
Poeple will be blind, obsessed by power and ready-made thoughts.
Sheeps will govern the world and you will dream of grass and grass.

And I don’t want to be a sheep !

Each bubble is a return to my childhood,then pops suddenly even if I try to protect. It swallows the light in a glass caspule, and keeps the blow of the time, a time. Songs, laughs, games and the innocence, In a frail baggage with an uncertain future. Each bubble carries life in its rainbow heart, then pops to free the essence of the past. Taste it.
French : Chaque bulle me ramene à mon enfance puis éclate sans que je puisse rien y faire. Elles gobent la lumière dans une capsule de verre, et retiennent le souffle du temps, un temps. Des chants, des rires, des jeux et tant d’innocence, Dans un fragile bagage à l’avenir incertain. Chaque bulle portent en son coeur de la vie, puis éclate pour en libérer toute son essence. Gouttez la.

It’s a simple bewitchment,You can’t escape the trap, If you touch on the strings, The puppeteer own you. French : C’est un parfait envoutement, Tu ne peux échapper au piège, Si tu effleures une des cordes, Tu es tout à la marionnetiste.

Protect me from what I want
I am a stronghold, I am a citadel, I am what you can not collide, a walled rock with closed shutters.I have no secrets, I have no passions, I have nothing to share with you, across this ghost wonderland. I don’t need you, I don’t hate you, I am not dead inside, I am just afraid to live, love and lose.
French :
Je suis un bastion, je suis une citadelle, Je suis ce que tu ne peux atteindre, un rocher avec les volets fermés. Je n’ai aucun secret, je n’ai aucune passion, je n’ai rien à partager avec toi, au parcours de cette terre fantôme, Je n’ai pas besoin de toi, je ne te hais pas, Je ne suis pas mort à l’interieur, j’ai juste peur de vivre, aimer et perdre.

Sketch done by my girlfriend.
” Why the arrow is there ? I would prefer it without ! ” Give up our arrow… ? How will we point north when all the stars will be sleeping ? How could we think differently if we have any scars ? How will we rise to the surface, lost in the crowd ? How could we understand love without the shot of Cupid? How will we come to life without feel the pain of the birth? How could we live without a new enigma to resolve ?
French : ” Pourquoi cette flèche ? Je préfère sans ” Abandonner la flèche… ? Comment pourrions nous trouver le nord dans la nuit noir ? Comment penser différemment sans avoir de cicatrices ? Comment remonter à la surface, perdu dans la foule ? Comment comprendre l’Amour sans le tir de Cupidon ? Comment venir au monde sans la douleur de la naissance ? Comment pourrait on vivre sans une nouvelle énigme à résoudre ?

La fable du p’tit phoque It’s the desert on the ice floe, The ice vanishes into the flow, The lill seal looks at the show, He can relish a new sun’s glow, Temperatures are no more low, For a sunbath, it’s less of snow, Reasons to give us a nice bow.

French : C’est le désert sur la banquise, La glace se fond dans le courant, Le p’tit phoque contemple le film, Il goute à cette nouvelle lumière, Les températures sont agréables, Bains de soleil et moins de neige, Que de raisons de nous remercier.
