Né à Charleville-Mézières in 1967, I was introduced to to drawing and painting from a very young age.
I first drew on my inspiration in the reproductions of the great masters: classics, impressionists, orientalists, ... all fascinated me! Everything interested me!
I took my first steps in painting, self-taught.
My meeting in the 1980s with the painter Lombi was an inspiration. a revelation... from then on I will never stop painting, and more broadly, creating.
I started à exhibiting in 1992 at the regional and national painting and sculpture fairs of the armies, regularly obtaining mentions and prizes.
With extensive experience, I now give lessons to pass on my passion for painting.
Figurative From my beginnings, I evolved into gradually towards a semi-abstraction, preferring to suggest, rather than show.
