"It is clear that my inspiration is first in nature. I need to give a mystical and spiritual dimension to my paintings. In my approach, I am immersed in a contemplative universe made of metaphysical questions such as: What is the mystery of our existence? Why life? Why death? What happens to us after our death? Where does humanity go? Well-being and clarity of mind. I use the symbol so that reading is immediate. It is always this desire for total purity that entrains me. " -Catherine Ludeau
