It may seem presumptuous to choose a subject that so many artists have dealt with over the centuries, from Jerome Bosh to Salvador Dali, to name a few (more than 30 canvases relating to the temptation of St-Antoine (Antoine le Grand in religious history) are listed in the most famous Museums). With some nuances and notable differences, this theme remains current, in that it deals with eternal feelings: seduction, desire, temptation and repression. In all modesty, and without any pretension, I tried to transpose it to the 21st century. In a timeless architecture, a series of corridors and bare rooms, I have preserved the era and the stature of the Saint as if to express this continuity in time. In the foreground, under a photo of a feminine nude, it is a beautiful voluptuous young woman who embodies temptation, she is turned towards Saint-Antoine who, tortured, desperately tries to depend on her charm and to repress the very legitimate feeling who runs through him. Does He ignore the subject of a hidden painting that can be assumed indifferently to have the same lasciviousness as the foreground photo? or rigorous and conducive to meditation? Here lies the key to the problem ... The dimensions indicated are that of the collage itself, but it is in fact mounted on a black cardboard of dimensions 11.6x8.3 inches .

France
I was born in Le Vigan, small town in the South of France. I studied at the Universty of Montpellier Pharmacy and Medecine. I owe to Marc Dautry, classic engraver and sculptor (Montauban), to have been very early initiated to the field of Art. Later I met the surrealist painter, Bernard Louedin (Trebeurden), and developped a passion for this movement. I live and work now in Haute-Savoie near Annecy (France) and Geneva (Switzerland). At first glance my activity as Dr in medical biology did not predispose me to the practice of collage and photomontage if not my passion for Art,photography, surrealism, specially Man Ray, Dora Maar, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Magritte and Hannah Hoch. My meeting with Josephine Sacabo, american photographer, was decisive; she introduced me to this art, and incited me to "always shift forward the reality". And this the way each of my collages is inspired by transposing fragments of live, where feelings, fantasies, and personal concerns are mingled. Beyond the resear that each project involves (magazines of art or photography, newspapers, photos, advertisings), beyond the time splent for realizig the work, beyond aesthetic concerns, the final result often emerges from these contengencies, and escape from the original idea, to become another, only remains the sincerity.
