"For me, the faun is above all an artist, the son of Hermes and of hermeticism with, in the distance, the philosophical mercury which allows lead to be changed into gold. It is also the god of nature and wild animals. Of this nature of which Rodin said in his will to the future officiants of beauty: Take inspiration from nature, force yourself to love it and always find it beautiful because she never lies.' "
