Biography
The unique result of oil painting gives life to my artistic universe.
Born in 1991 in Annecy (France), I have been drawing since my early childhood, and art has always been part of my life. I grew up surrounded by the masterpieces of Dali, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Bosch, Goya… painters who have shaped my eye and imagination.
My first significant steps in drawing led me to reproduce the works of Claude Serre, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Dali’s paintings… before creating my own compositions, born from my imagination. Later, I worked on portraits from photographs, using graphite and dry pastel.
In 2011, I began my career in advertising as a digital image creator. Quickly, I specialized in photography and compositing, creating national communication campaigns in France and Switzerland (metrize.com).
Alongside my advertising work, since 2015, I have been developing an artistic project that explores the major themes of our passage through life, at the crossroads of our time and history: birth, death, illness, love, war, exile…
I stage the ancient objects I collect by creating ephemeral installations in my living room (a forest, a pond, a desert…) to bring my concepts to life. I use photography to capture these moments. Each final image is the result of a meticulous assembly, in Photoshop, of hundreds of shots taken with candlelight or a small light source.
In 2023, a trip to Naples marked a turning point in my life. Standing before “The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula” by Caravaggio, I had a revelation: I must become a painter and paint my artistic universe in oil. Without a teacher, I embarked on this journey alone. I bought my first tubes of paint, a multitude of art books, observed the techniques of the masters, and painted.
Today, I create my paintings on blank linen canvases and paint my artistic concepts in oil.
After several exhibitions in private collectors’ spaces, I decided, in early 2025, to share my art with the public.
