I converted to photography around the age of 23 to finally make a living from my passion, I couldn't bear living without this passion that comes from my guts! I declared myself an independent photographer and started shooting. with classic services (weddings, pregnancy, newborns, etc.) then at A difficult moment in my life, I felt the need to try artistic photography and I discovered an incomparable outlet, which had become vital for me. So I ended up devoting myself fully to it! Today I use digital photography and photomontage in an expressionist and surrealist style as a therapy above all. À through my works, I fight my own demons, I heal from my traumas, I face my fears and my phobias... My art allows me to communicate with the world because outside of that, I I isolate a lot and I am very much a homebody... I can thus show the difficult aspects of the disorders from which I suffer and of my health. fragile mental health, which are often very misunderstood aspects: Anxiety; generalized, hyperactivity, depression, hypersensitivity... But also show to Those who suffer from it know that they are not alone!

I realized a photo book on the theme of depression in 2021, in self-portrait, in an expressionist style. I was going through a depressive phase at the time of its conception...

I really like working in self-portraits since my art is very therapeutic. Although I sometimes work with models when I need different faces for certain fantasy series.

Fantasy and surrealism also allow me to create fictional universes.

“I feel bad in this world, so I create others...”

I am strongly interested in art therapy since 2023 and I am currently training in art therapy. This practice in order to integrate it into my work but also to offer creative workshops based on art therapy when I have finished this training. I am also increasingly interested in mixed techniques which I find interesting to express myself in different forms.
