I’ve always had the feeling Art is a kind of knowledge. My being curious has led me to create the series « Or&Brun », « Reliefs&Panoramiques » and the sculptures. They illustrate ways of investigation. These different practices all aim at making one feel what "The Being" or "Being" is about. Either through representation with "Or & Brun", or through non-representation, this time with the series "Reliefs&Panoramiques". All these practices aim at showing a pictorial presence to the world, as an act.

painter, plastic artist

"I started to draw really early. So as to improve my skills, I studied painting, drawing and the pastel technique at Quentin de Latour School, in Saint Quentin, Picardy. Quentin de Latour being a famous 18th century pastel and portrait painter. After that, I joined the Beaux Arts in Amiens, then the Beaux Arts in Paris, two prestigious schools which allowed me to strengthen my artistic practice, the one I've always tried to improve all along my career. My artistic work partly rests upon drawing which is an essential basis driving me towards what I want to discover. It structures what I do. It has always guided me towards different practices in my artistic research. As I was feeling stronger concerning my knowledge and convictions. After my studies, I started to focus on my artistic skills more, so as to improve them. The website presents part of my research, part of what I do: The "Or&Brun" The landscapes from the "Relief&Panoramiques" series The sculptures
