This vibrant and contemporary work is distinguished by its brilliance and energy. The painting depicts a bustling urban street, where several dynamic characters enliven the composition. In the foreground, a young woman wearing a white dress and a long bright red cardigan immediately catches the eye. She pulls a red suitcase that almost seems to melt into drips of paint, bringing a surreal dimension to the work. The artist demonstrates a mastery of colors and textures. The pops of bright red contrast sharply with the shades of white and blue-grey of the clothes of passers-by and the surrounding architectural elements. This juxtaposition of tones not only creates visual depth but also evokes a sense of continuous movement. The background, although blurred, features graffiti with partially legible inscriptions (Art is the most beautiful of lies), adding a vibrant urban dimension. These inscriptions seem to blend into the buildings, suggesting a fusion between art and the everyday. The other figures, in the background, wander around in relaxed attitudes, participating in the theme of the incessant flow of modern urban life. The expressive quality of this painting lies in the way each figure is captured in full motion, contributing to the feeling of a stolen moment in the hustle and bustle of the city. Each brushstroke seems to capture natural light, shadows, and textures with impressive precision, bringing the scene to life. This work is, without a doubt, a tribute to the vitality of urban spaces and the beauty that can be found in ordinary moments. The impressive technique and attention to detail are a testament to the artist's skill, making this painting a captivating and memorable piece.

Born in Courrières in the North of France, I share my time between the North of France and Paris which inspires me many urban scenes including café terraces. I have always used oil paint because slow drying suits my technique better. I work in series by inspiring my surrounding, places I go to, objects I own and stage. In the series "Réflexions sur le temps qui passe", I treat the cars and Vespa in the manner of the "vanities" of the past by perforating the bodies, rusting them, thus translating the time that passes and which reduces to few things once prestigious vehicles. The parallel is obvious with our own existence. In the still lifes séries, I stage objects with a preference for metal and glass and using a palette of coloured grey and nuanced white so as to have a contemporary touch. In the series "Mes petites Nanas", I interpret scenes, situations, by putting in scene my daughter who is used to me as model (The comedy of the feelings, or the works on the small girls). Finally, the urban landscapes are inspired, as I said earlier, by my numerous stays in Paris where I live part of the year.
