Gustav Klimt, at the heart of Art Nouveau, awakened my conscience by sublimating women in all their sensuality, softness, fragility and curves. A kiss and embracing arms fascinated me. Far from compromises and prohibitions, they take me back to those eternal allegories adorned with a profusion of details. Gold, echoing Orientalist symbols and decorations, transfigures reality. It modulates the relationship between the flatness and relief of surfaces, exacerbating our fantasies. The richness of fabrics, colored faux furs, sequins, spicy or golden colors distills a seventies perfume with its psychedelic languor for a "peace and love" world.
