Born 5th January 1971, in Paris.
Life can and should be always in transition; transitions made of highs and lows, but hopefully leading to a certain evolution. I try to channel these transitions through my paintings and to show the sensation of movement on flat two dimensional still paintings.

| 关于此艺术家 |
I'm very interested in tapping raw emotions and transcribing them into my paintings the best I can. Such emotions or impulses are to me the most genuine expression of identity, the source of our "flow". The rest, the reasons and stories we ascribe to our emotions is but a way for us to dress and shield ourselves from the intimidating nakedness of such emotions.
In a peculiar way, while I'm painting, I'm seeking a way to keep on travelling...
Painting for me is a mode of transportation on which to take a journey of exploration, and although my designs may be personal, I keep in mind that if I choose to paint my "travels", it's because I yearn to communicate well with others.
It's strange, but I'm realising that I practically "live" for making artwork. It motivates me and makes me feel confident. Each little creation is like living an adventure. I know it sounds silly, but it's true... |
