Biography
Nomadic tattoo artist rendered immobile by the health crisis, the artist took the time to dig into himself to return to the game of his childhood: the construction of imaginary cities. At the rate of these wanderings in Paris, he collects waste from the city to design his sculptures. The street then becomes an open-air supermarket.
A graduate in industrial design, he uses manufactured objects, diverts them from their primary function to extract the shapes necessary for his productions.
With a certain dose of humor, he parodies a speculative art world to which he tries to belong, he sells us waste to redeem a conscience, reimburses his bills by drawing on his receipts: diary of a paradoxical daily life.
