ART WHERE ESSENCES BECOME LIGHT
THE ALCHEMY OF ESSENCES
In my visual language,
perfumes and wines become living essences.
Each aroma, whether liquid or volatile,
draws a color, a vibration, a light.
I paint their trail.
I reveal their memory.
I bring these two worlds into dialogue.

CHROMATIC MANIFESTO
MANIFESTO OF THE SUBTLE MOVEMENT OF AROMAS
I. The Genesis
I am visually impaired.
But I see differently: fragrance becomes color, wine becomes light.
I paint this secret passage between the senses.
II. The Ester
An ester is a reaction between alcohol and acid.
It is the birth of an essence.
It is also the origin of wine aromas and perfume notes.
My art exists in that instant when matter becomes emotion.
III. The Gesture
I work with alcohol ink: liquid, alive, unpredictable.
I guide it through breath, touch, and listening.
Each artwork is a trail.
IV. The Two Worlds
Wine and perfume.
Earth and air.
Body and soul.
I paint their fusion.
V. The Movement
Ester Chromatique is a painting of reaction,
an olfactory writing where color becomes essence.
