Bijou describes himself as a photographic editor.                                       

Nearly a decade ago he was a composer and music producer. Then he became a decoration designer before embarking on graphic applications.

The current technical possibilities allow him to create and recreate at will all the small scenes of his inner life.

His dreams, fantasies or phobia are embodied in his dreamlike landscapes in which amateur models wind up.

Classical artistic references (the Italian Renaissance...) are mixed with vibrators set up like nuclear warheads.

The use of symmetry is a means of guiding the eye in a funnel-like way to the centre, to the heart of the picture. Next come the details, the refinement, the nuances.

The bright and full colours also enable to amplify the topic.

The picture is structured by the relief, the multiple shades of just as many images.

The search for visual images on the internet constitutes a major part of the creation time.

Each discovery will  then incarnate a stage, a detail, a light to constitute the painting which, in the end, has nothing more to do with the starting photo.

This approach is very similar to the method of music sampling, where a riff is first sampled, then modified and ends up as an almost unrecognisable sound. In graphics as well as in music, we apply make up by way of filters (blurry effects, flashes of light) just as we would tune high-pitched sounds.

In both fields, very often the instinct expresses oneself with its bundle of references, its values and taboos.

Bijou is an individual born in the seventies, submerged and educated by all kinds of media. He questions himself about religion and sexuality and the place these issues occupy in our lives, thanks to us, in spite of us.

At the boundary of graphics, photography and artistic creation, Bijou takes us to his unformatted aesthetics, anchored in a trivial and vulgar day-to-day dusted with a hint of super powers.
