"Drawing, often associated with writing, has always accompanied me with this desire to draw as I saw fit. My family was artistically very classic and swore only through realism.

As a teenager I made two important discoveries: Freud and his 'science' of dreams and Surrealism (in painting as in writing). Decisive revelations for my creation at the time because I recognized myself in this absurd universe turning reality upside down by shaking up codes.

Around 1987 for various reasons I chose to train in Art-Therapy with INECAT, training directed by JP KLEIN. This helped me a lot to free myself from the classic codes imposed by my parents. It allowed me to understand what I wanted to do without barriers: spontaneous, sincere drawings, coming out deep inside me in order to approach what I think to be the real creation.

In 2013, I finally decided to devote myself only to my creations. From 2015, I started to exhibit this new work. The years 2017 and 2018 were marked by the disappearance of my parents as well as the break up with my brothers and sister. I never stopped working on my artistic research. On the contrary, I think that these events allowed me to dare to go further in creation. In particular to create these drawings-collage and "the drawings which fly". "
