I have always loved drawing and playing with color.
Originally from the hilly countryside of Haute-Vienne (87), as a teenager I discovered a passion for hand painting. oil and certain painters (Klimt, Velazquez, Vermeer, Manet), which allows me to transcribe what the surrounding nature inspires me which then offers me my first subjects of interest.
Little by little, I became interested in the use of pastel and red chalk, which allowed me to create subjects more focused on animals, faces and body expressions, while playing only on shadow and light to bring depth to these single-colored lines.
