About

About me

I’m graduated in plastic arts in drawing and painting and I have been painting for 20 years already. I use different mediums such as painting, drawing, knitted objects, watercolors, ceramics ...

I use these mediums to enhance my words by looking in my laboratory for the supports best suited to my stories. I can thus mix very figurative work charged with emotions and mysteries with abstract work which comes to nourish and widen my universe.
