Here the artist refers to his friend and photographer Maria Kruger with whom he shares a fascination for hands and body ailments.

Self-taught, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle has always maintained an emotional relationship with his artistic practice: feeling is his favorite territory of exploration. From the conception he goes where his instinct guides him, preferring to work with his own memories, his imagination or a moving model, rather than seeking realism. An obsession, the hands. Possessive, fragile or powerful, sensual or even anonymous, they emerge like ghosts to capture the attention and to provide most of the emotional charge of the composition. Through his erratic line, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle tracks down emotions to lay them bare. He explores the sensitive, the ephemeral, the fragile.
