It all started when I was 14. At night, I would spend my nights drawing whatever came into my head. Then I did studies that had nothing to do with art, I worked. But when I moved to France in 2020, all paths were open to me. So, I remembered my passion and started painting. I met a passionate painter, Isabelle, who taught me a lot during our classes in her studio. Now, I am also discovering watercolor painting.
