Self-taught, despite a teacher telling me, when I was a teenager, that nothing would ever be done with me in artistic matters...I discovered the pleasure of painting in 1992. My work was immediately what is called "Naive".

I did not choose, this mode of expression is for me like a writing or a vocal range.

It is a necessity.
