ABOUT ME

I was born in 1975 in Nice, where I lived until the age of 21. I began studying visual arts in 1994 at Villa Thiole in Nice, then at the Toulon Beaux-Arts from 1996 to 2000. There I followed a three-year course at HEAD-Genève, in Peter Roesch’s atelier. I settled permanently in Switzerland in the 2000s.

​

​

My work is an authentic reflection of my personality. 

My work is a deep exploration of my emotions, transforming my internal ruminations into visual expressions. Through black areas, obsessive scribbling, and layered textures, the artworks reveal an inner effervescence on paper. Each piece invites total immersion in raw expressiveness, offering a tangible and emotionally charged experience.

​

The interplay between visibility and invisibility is central in my work. Layers of superimposed, indecipherable text symbolize the erasure and preservation of memories and emotions, creating a tension between the desire to communicate and the urge to keep certain things hidden.
