Meeting the American painter Ben Berns when I was very young made me discover the fundaments of drawing, the rigour of observation and the world of colour. When I was thirteenI flew to New York to see him. Since then, I have continued to learn painting with him.
 
At the end of my secondary studies in France, I enrolled in the National School of Fine Arts (Ecole National des Beaux-Arts) in Dijon and then did a residency at the New YorkAcademy of Art.
 
Back in Europe, I met the Dutch light artist Johan Vonk who taught me how to approach colour as volume, a universe where one searches globally. With him, I invested all fieldsnamely show lighting, stenography, exhibition lighting and installations; the lighting of architectural spaces and the creation of light objects and sculptures.
 
Since that time, alone or in a group, always fascinated by colour, I have mixed and worked with those artistic “mediums”. I group them to better stage them and preserve my experimentation matrix between life and structure, between nature and architecture, originating in an original scene from my childhood, a starry sky and the vibrations of a city at night.
