“A journey from darkness to light, offering a sanctuary for the soul.”
— Katrin Grosspeter, art critic
Du Verbe à la Chair
"Du Verbe à la chair" explores the mystery of the Incarnation, the passage from word to matter, from the Word to the flesh. It is rooted in an artistic and spiritual inquiry nourished by the Gospel according to Saint John.
Each diptych is read from right to left, echoing the original language of Christ, Aramaic. Each one embodies a specific verse, not in an illustrative way, but as a sensitive and contemporary traversal of the sacred word.
The writing, initially inscribed, gradually transforms, leaving the realm of the sign to enter that of matter, color, and light.
The stained-glass windows of the church Saint-Jacques Saint-Christophe de la Vilette have deeply inspired the creation of these diptychs, both in their structure and their luminous vibration, establishing a silent dialogue between sacred architecture, painting, and the Gospel word.
