Le phare de la côte Print

Author and creator, I love to dig up forgotten digital landscapes. The kind of landscapes we walked along without paying attention particularly during the golden age of video games... I love to find captivating details in everything and then make them pop up playing with abstraction and colors! Born in Versailles, France, near the castle, yet I grew up between pines, vineyards and salt marshes, between the Bordeaux region and the incomparable light of the Island of Ré, where my family is from. I have a master's degree in cultural geography and two teacher's degrees. I lived in the Washington State, near Portland, USA, where I really started writing fantasy stories, to imagine graphic concepts (participation in a project on the representation of mushrooms by the Botanical Gardens in Nijmegen in the Netherlands...) and designing RPG and card games (game designer on the Crowded Cave project at Nordic Raven Games). I am trying to publish one of my projects : modelling a micro democracy in the classroom space by giving students the opportunity to manage virtual cities by building the facilities voted by the group. This management game with learning protocols coming from imagination and debates is the subject of a doctoral project in the sciences of education. Regarding creative writing, I like the fantasy genre (Tolkien, Sapkowski...). I am passionate about mapping imaginary universes (I am a cartographer and I love to draw imaginary maps while listening to the works of Japanese composers like Uematsu, Mitsuda or Kikuta). I also like to explore fantastic worlds, strangely realistic, related to the emotions of women and men who have lost themselves, consciously or unconsciously (like the Miyazaki’s movies for example). Writing, telling a story (just like painting…) is, in my case, a personal way of approaching the true meaning of love and talking about difficult topics - such as violence perpetrated on children - to grasp the meanders of different feelings that flow. I write to try to understand the soul by introspection. I wish my writings to awaken emotions. And that my stories can help one way or another. It's been 20 years since I wrote the project of a life, "Revelarme", whose first book is published in French (Voyages d'un coeur endormi) Everything in life could become a cognitive experience to share.
