Disciplines: Painting

Location: Autun

Materials: Carving, Oil, Watercolour
I am a visual artist based in France, working with watercolour, oil painting, and small-scale sculptural carving in jade, turquoise and beryl. My practice explores urban space, everyday scenes and the study of human psychotypes as they appear in public life. Alongside this, I develop a cyclical body of work with a visionary and sacred dimension. I work directly, without preliminary sketches, allowing form, atmosphere and meaning to emerge through gesture and material.

Previous Experience

I have exhibited my work in France and internationally, including exhibitions in New York, Vienna, Budapest and Los Angeles. I am a member of professional artists’ associations in France and the United States and regularly participate in curated exhibitions and international art platforms. My work has been twice recognised by the Luxembourg Art Prize and is held in municipal and museum collections. I am also engaged in regular cultural patronage through donations of artworks to public institutions and community projects
