My paintings are made of rhythmic movements. As a danse. I try to create an emotion in the spectator and create a dialogue with him.
What interests me is the movement in the painting. Its rhythm. His own expression.
My painting is a concentrate of emotions. An explosion. I don't want to slow it down, I want to express it. Say what I have to say not with words or sounds but with colors and lines, dissonance and balance. And I want this explosion of emotion to be felt and provoke their own emotion in the other. Thus, I seek to create an emotion in the viewer and create a dialogue with them. The essence of something. Slipping towards somewhere else.
I am very influenced by artists like Cy Twombly or Kiefer.

After a full accomplished career as an organization expert, I decided to return to my first passion: Art. Student of the Glacière School of Fine Arts,

I have exhibited abroad (China, Toronto, Los Angeles) and in France in different events (Art en Capital at the Grand Palais, Réalités Nouvelles... ).
