Biography

As a young designer, from an early age, he discovered his passion for fashion and painting, through Manga's drawings and then fashion figurines and began to customize clothes.

At the age of 18, he discovered the pleasure of painting on canvas during the municipal fine arts workshops in the Paris suburbs, where he began to exhibit.

During these various exhibitions, visitors are struck by his use of colours.

His very instinctive painting strikes with colours that are either flamboyant, brutal, dynamic, joyful (red, orange, yellow) or darker (gradient of blues) with a movement of lines that shakes on the surface, this is part of a lyrical and gestural register where he sometimes associates human figures with it, with expressionist allures. Her passion for fashion and textiles leads her to confuse shapes, materials and colours in order to combine these two worlds: pictorial art and the art of fibre.

He therefore integrates fabrics and yarns directly into his paintings.

Their impact grips you while revealing the most intimate depths of their creator.
