Biography

I was born in France in 1972.

 

I graduated from EDTA SORNAS Graphic School, Paris, France with a Bachelor of Visual Communications degree (Graphic Design Major) in 1993.

 

My career began in 1995 with my first solo exhibition in Paris and I am considering myself as a self-taught artist.

 

I lived from 1996 until 2000 in Switzerland where I painted and exhibited too. At this time, my style was more figurative.

 

I moved to Aix-en-Provence, France in 2000 to acquire new evolution in my work. It started to become more and more abstract years after years.  My colors palette became clearer and more colorful influenced by the light of this part of France. 

 

In 2012, I started to transform my work from figurative to a total abstract style.

 

My art has been exhibited throughout Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Belgium) & Australia but my first solo exhibition was in an art gallery in the US - the Peyton Wright gallery in Santa Fe, NM in 2013. I have been represented one year by this gallery and since this show,  I decided to be a full time artist and developed my career to USA. 

 

I attended an art residency in New York In April 2015. The purpose was to develop my new main theme: emotional landscapes inspired by unconscious relations between humankind & environment on various mediums, such as painting, digital art & iPhone snapshot.

 

I have participated in many collective and solo shows in USA since 2015.

 

I am now represented by several American art galleries and my work is in private collections throughout the United States, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, The Netherlands and China.

 

I am living and working in New York, USA since November 2016.
