I have studied at the School of Art of Angers (France) where I got my diploma in 1998. Then I have been working with Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Philippe Cogne, Edward Baran etc.

20 years of experience in painting, etching, researching and artistic creating, all around periods of certainty and doubts.

At first and for few years, my work was more abstract, large format paintings where I used to play with the material, the surface and the revelation by transparency. That was a game of hiding, veiling and revealing the spaces. It’s wanting to keep track of

history through the painting. Erasures, appearances, oppositions in an informal game and the indefinable with its power relations where frontiers are born.

Contributions and withdrawals of the material succeed and give birth to my painting, searching for serenity. My paintings invite to browse phases of its own production. Frozen tracks of the moment, just like if time belonged to the painting.

There were big series that I named “Ici et ailleurs” (here and elsewhere). Here, another elsewhere, the human facing the universe. Here, it’s another know, the elsewhere, a world lived during previous travels (Europe, Polynesia, Reunion …). In this work, I talk about the meeting point between those spaces, one above the other, where two worlds live together and where the frontier keep apart but unit in the same time to create a whole. Tracks of living – itinerary of a lifetime.

To paint is to live the present until becoming a part of the painting. It’s in painting material that we can find the painting’ solution, in the resonance of the echoes that led to it over time.

From my point of view, painting means to live the world, take the time to watch it, question it and answer it in my way of writing and painting.

Since few years, my work progressed to a research more concrete by talking about trees and, in this way, by being closer to my environment, very nature. I live in south Angers, near by the Loire and I share my life with this amazing natural atmosphere, full of the energy of trees. Through my paintings I am looking for a balance. To live fully where I am with a research for harmony of an inner agreement.

I want my work to reflect this research of harmony.

The drawing came back in my work with the glycerophthalic paint. I drew with the thread of the painting without touching the paper or the canvas, without repentance, in great freedom. I like to complement the spaces of matter and this free draw. In 2017, I developed a drawing work with non-conventional tools around the circle, track and time.

My researches are based on lectures of François Cheng “Vide et plein” (empty and full), Alain Corbin, “La douceur de l’ombre” (The softness of the shadow), and Gaston Bachelard “La poétique de l’espace” (The poetic and space) etc.
