Born in Cannes in 1961, I have been a self-taught painter for 35 years, with a deeply human and inspired path. Marked from childhood by his parents’ separation, he grew up with his maternal grandparents, in a simple and happy atmosphere. His connection to art is naturally rooted in his family background, as both his great-grandfather and his uncle were painters themselves.

After exploring drawing and sport, it was at the age of 20 that painting became an obvious calling. His first portrait, painted in tribute to a loved one who had passed away, marked a decisive turning point in his life. He then discovered the expressive power of black and white and adopted dry pastel as his preferred technique.

In 1993, following personal work in sophrology, he began a shift toward symbolist painting, deeply connected to emotion and memory. Since then, he has never stopped painting, creating more than 600 works combining portraits, inner visions, and universal symbols.

« I paint above all out of passion, often in a creative bubble where time fades away. »

Nature is a kind of anchor where I draw my ideas from this green haven; painting and nature are inseparable, a kind of creative pairing.

Always curious, I explore new techniques (airbrush, pigments, stretcher and color making), pursuing with humility and determination an artistic path rich in meaning.
