Actor for 38 years, I currently play in a TV series "Research Section" on TF1 ... But here, it is about drawings that I would like to talk to you about, those that I do in my lost moments. I have always loved to draw. In boarding school, I sent drawings to my grandfather or to Christian Zuber for the WWF ... I always drew a little, even on paper tablecloths in restaurants ... And then coloring life has become crucial because without wanting to wake you up from bad memories, the horror of September 11, 2001 made me decide to send drawings to the world. I wanted to express joy, love and peace in this way, to do something luminous and sweet to remind people that beauty, simplicity and happiness existed ... This agitation of my motley features was not a response to the violence but a non-resignation to the shock wave generated by barbarism. It was necessary to continue, to recover morally ... It is only in recent years that I have dared to put myself more seriously to the work and recently to show my drawings. It was the Galerie des Lombards which was the first to understand and encourage my initiative, perhaps a little naive but above all pure. It is therefore for you that I am making these drawings in order to share this feeling of freshness. Even if my drawings are purely imaginary, they remain true above all, the proof, they are there in front of you ... May they add a little happiness to the one you already have ...
