I am a painter based in Paris.
I was trained in architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where I was also admitted through the competitive examination in Visual Arts. Although I did not pursue that specific program, the intensive practice of drawing within my architectural training formed a fundamental foundation for my visual thinking. It has had a lasting influence on the way I approach sketching, composition, and the construction of space.
My artistic practice began early through a self-taught exploration of oil painting. In 1999, during a period of professional transition, I produced a significant body of watercolor works that represents a foundational stage in my artistic development. After a long professional career in architecture, I gradually refocused my activity on painting. Since 2023, following my retirement, I have been developing a continuous and personal body of work centered on painting and drawing.
My work has been presented in international contexts, notably at the Red Dot Miami Art Fair (United States, 2025), and published in Maison Actuelle as well as Spotlight Magazine. I have also been a finalist in international competitions organized by Circle Foundation for the Arts.
I live and work in France.
Artistic Approach
My work explores the relationships between space, presence, and perception.
I most often begin with a figurative motif—landscape, interior, or figure—not as an end in itself, but as an anchor point. Reality acts as a matrix from which the painting unfolds.
I deliberately work in an in-between space: a figuration that simplifies, fragments, or shifts, and an abstraction that remains rooted in a sensory experience of the world. The forms and colors suggested by a landscape guide me toward its underlying rhythms—lines of force, tensions, breaths, and silences.
Watercolor occupies a central place in this approach. Its fluidity, transparency, and speed of execution allow me to capture the essence of a place—its light, its energy, its presence.Alongside this, digital research plays a complementary role. It functions as an experimental space where forms are recomposed and refined, opening pathways toward future paintings, particularly in acrylic.
My visual language favors flat areas of color, formal synthesis, and a confident, expressive palette. Rejecting any somber vision of the world, I seek to infuse my work with a living, luminous presence, where color becomes a carrier of energy and breath.
Painting thus becomes a way of revealing what persists beyond representation: a presence
From September 2021 to 2023, I resumed watercolor by taking group classes in a private workshop which allowed me to be with other students, and to be followed by a teacher. I did several watercolor courses on the Ile de Ré, in Brittany as well as in Morocco.
