"The twenty-first century will be religious or will not be" prophesied Malraux.

About

The twentieth century audacious thought put to rest the notion of God. It is paradoxically become ubiquitous in the early twenty-first century. In his name miracles, what misfortunes too.Saving God, God of mercy, God of vengeance.

The artist is a demiurge junk. He asks. He did not "God be praised" the calling to answer. These sculptures exorcise jumble these questions and these amalgams.

Hands hands always redrawn. Hands are the prostheses of the soul. Creative Hands, hands clasped in prayer, predatory hands, hand on heart, loving hands, hands lost, wandering hands, hands in the pants, crucified hands, hands tied martyrs.

If it is through man that God exists is to malice that must be the entertainment of its jubilant little devils melted on the spot to the lost wax.

This interlacing of Kalashnikovs matches the shape of the crown of thorns, torture instrument, parody of power became the icon of thought whose persistence and modernity approach eternity announced. This crown of thorns made of existing arms covered with gold is an ex-voto conjuring violence, fatal combined power and misunderstanding.
