The solitary wanderings of my childhood in the Breton countryside have certainly nourished my taste for the silence that I find today in the studio.

However, nothing destined me to paint one day, except the chances of life and encounters.

In 1993, on leaving high school, I embarked on scientific studies to discover the living and the infinitely small, driven by intellectual play alone. Six years later, I wonder about the relevance of a professional life in the middle of micro algae and radioactive beakers when a bad encounter explodes my already somewhat fragile universe.

Trained by the principle of reality, I reconverted myself in the social sector; way for me to find the human and to push myself to meet others and the other in me.

From 2002, I worked for ten years in this sector of activity.

In 2006, invited by the painter Denys de Solère at the Martenot school, I discovered drawing, painting and Martenot pedagogy at the same time.

It is only at this time that a real specialized care is possible for me. Well-established PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) suddenly awakes accompanied by severe depression. Generalized anxiety disorders, dissociative and cognitive disorders become chronic.

The plastic work discovered fortuitously then allows me to discover a space of peace and freedom within which my body is no longer limited to a painful straitjacket but reveals itself to be a precious tool.

I use the professional bias again to support the construction of a new me.

Thus, in 2007 I began training for future teachers of Martenot pedagogy at the Atelier D'Art Europe (Levallois Perret). I am also training in art therapy at the University of Paris 5.

I then fully invest these new means of expression which allow me to non-verbally explore a psychic space and a body, both of which have become suffering, strange and foreign.

Conquered on a professional and personal basis, I turned to teaching Martenot pedagogy in various workshops in the Paris region.

In 2009, I founded, with Sybille Mathiaud, "Les ateliers de la Main d'Or" (Paris 11), an artist's studio and place of education.

In 2016, I opened my own workshop in Colombes (92).

It is a new beginning conducive to deepening personal work dormant.

Personal work that I do not want only a catharsis tool but a synthesis of my journey, enriched by my experiences, encounters and the world around me.
