Artemis - SLS Painting

Born in a small village by the cliffs of Normandy, France, I started drawing as early as I could hold a pencil. Self taught, I always wanted to improve myself by learning new techniques by trial and error. At 18 years old, I was dreaming of new horizons, and was eager to discover North American culture. To achieve this goal, I have planned my departure and, with a twinge of sorrow, left my friends and family to study a bachelor’s degree in Montreal, Canada. After my graduation, I was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work as a manager at Amazon Canada. But after a short while into my new job, I reconsidered my entire life : “I loved my job, my colleagues were adorable and the opportunity have a successful career was wide open for me. But I simply felt that my purpose was not there, that I was not meant for that. I’ve been ignoring what makes me vibrate : making art. This reconsideration was clear for me : I wanted to become the artist I’ve always aspired to be.” I took the difficult decision to stray away from the the paved road and, in 2021, moved to Florida so to pursue my lifetime call and goal : to become an artist. I am now following my American dream and became a full time painter.
