As a Contemporary Artist who has collected African Tribal Art for over a decade ,the Brussels-based PT incorporated his collection in his working space, enabling him to spend more time with the objects. According to TP all of the things that surround us end up permeating other aspects of our lives-in his case : his work. The contrasts between the primitive lines of Chamba, Loso, Yaka, Songye, Lega sculptures and his practice of Zen, Shiatsu and Aikido create for him the empty transformation space for his Pure Intuitive work
