“The chromatic qualities and textures of life as well as my relationship to nature, is what structures my creative process and inspires me to create daily.”
Hello and welcome to my studio space!
I am a French artist currently living in Paris.
I was born in Nice, on the Southeastern coast of France but grew up abroad and came back to Europe as a young adult to pursue my art studies.
In June 2000, I graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts (Fine Arts) in Paris. I started my career as a textile designer and color consultant, and later moved on to illustration and mural art.
In 2006, I began painting large scale murals for corporate and private clients, using the metaphor of flowers to evoke the blossoming, unfolding, and moment to moment revealing of our life journeys.
With time, this large scale work led me to exploring deeper layers and more sensual aspects of what it means to embrace life.
Through my abstract work, I am looking to suggest the ongoing dance between the ethereal and the earthly, and engage with the concepts of touch as the interwoven relationship between formless and matter, touch, as a way to sense, connect, and express the sacred essence of who we are.
