THE FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE: REFRAMING EDEN. Painting

I am a French artist. I create artwork that explores the life cycle of ideas, the organic, non-linear process. As I cut, rip, realign and glue, I reflect on each new generation’s collective erasure of some element of the past and its casting of new ideas into the future. The subject of my works is as ephemeral and fleeting as ideas committed to paper. After my studies at Wimbledon School of Art (London), I started to live and work in Paris and in 1985 moved to Frankfurt Germany and established an advertising agency where I worked until 2000, in that year I went to London. Once in London, I was working as a lecturer at Harlow College - Middlesex University, teaching art and publication design to postgraduate students of Journalism. Although I had always been working on my painting, in 2010, when I moved to Istanbul, I started to work attentively on my art and working at Bilgi “Loretta” University as Head of the department of VCD, facilitating my intention. During the 80s, I opened two solo exhibitions in France and I have participated in more than 19 group and solo exhibitions in Istanbul at various galleries. In 2021 I moved back to France (Metz). My last solo exhibition was at CAW in Luxembourg (January 2025) with 110 artwork in view and in October 25 in a group exhibition at 57th salon artistique Luxembourg.
