The passion for this artist's art truly ignited during his stay in Mexico, where he discovered the raw energy of the . It was there that he forged his first authentic connection with spontaneous creation — a direct and instinctive way of interacting with the world around him. This experience profoundly shaped his initial artistic sensitivity. 

Later, in New York, a decisive encounter with the painter Jaouad Bentama marked his vision, prompting him to develop his artistic practice and to express his ideas and emotions, first through sculpture, then through painting. His work naturally evolved towards a deeper exploration of form, texture, and meaning. 

Back in Paris, he found a strong artistic direction through the symbol of the cactus. This form, with its silent strength, reflects resilience, adaptability, and tenacity. Since then, his artistic journey has been nourished by various travels, striking encounters, and constant experimentation, making each work a new exploration and reinterpretation of reality.
