Contemporary art /  figurative

​

I am a born painter

in Tours in 1988.

I currently reside in my city of

birth, I work and exhibit

regularly in my studio, in the gallery.

 

As an autodidact, I had the opportunity to

train in drawing techniques in the workshop of

the artist-painter Muriel Astier-Lameignère.

​

Attracted , passionate about art since childhood,

great artists inspire me  like Paul Klee,

Victor Brauner, Suzanne Valadon, Frida Kahlo.

Celtic bestiaries, masks

ancient, folklore, ornamental, mes

dreams, furniture from the 60s to our

future, architecture and neighborhood life

popular places I grew up in, are

the elements where I draw my inspiration from

creation.

​

I mainly work with acrylic paint,

ink and marker on canvas or/and on  paper.

I like to use for backgrounds and details the technique

pointillism when I use the paper support.

​

The spontaneity of my work leads to a universe

hypersensitive, where each work tells a story,

sends a message, challenges, releases an energy.

For this we find a certain gender duality in my characters, the symbols predominate.

​

I tend towards sincerity, authenticity,  art is my language.

I seek to question our current world, communicate my personal vision, on the questions of society to which I am sensitive, questions of gender, the environment, women, the relationship with our peers, or even the inner journey. The human is at the center of my works.

​

I particularly like to experiment, to discover my works through another medium, such as a virtual gallery (visitable on my website) where I worked in collaboration with a digital artist as well as a musical composer.

​

During the recent Ballan-Miré exhibition, I had the honor of receiving the prize awarded by the Departmental Council of Indre et Loire "Price of pictorial originality". I also participated in the Luxembourg Art Prize Art competition, I received a certificate of artistic merit from the museum's selection committee. ​
