" Life is just a big white canvas on which I leave traces of my passage, of my life, of my history..."
Né on February 28, 1966 at Metz. Graduate from ESAL in Metz in 1993.
"For a long time now I have been working in the shadows of my workshop. I represent what I am, what I feel, what I experience, what I imagine. In line with free figuration, from which I come, I let myself be guided by my instinct. Mixing signs, symbols, spontaneous representations, drawings and automatic texts, I maintain a close dialogue between the unconscious self and the omnipresent self of everyday life...Reminiscences, traces , subconscious, even unconscious, revelations; the limit of art brut... And why not? Welcome to my world...made of dreams, nightmares, traumatic memories, but also hope. To see..."
Painter, engraver, designer, sculptor, installer, graphic designer. After an initial self-taught period, I decided to pursue my career. to continue my studies at the Metz School of Fine Arts (ESAL de Metz) from which I graduated. since 1993 (DNSEP). After participating in the à group exhibitions at various places, and having offered engravings to the Cabinet des Estampes of the Bibliothèque de France in Paris. Paris, I continued à work independently of the market of art for many years, exhibiting only in closed circles and on the internet. I was able to imagine and carry out numerous artistic intervention projects at home. different places in Europe and sometimes in a clandestine and anonymous way while remaining within a legal framework, temporary installations, murals, posters, writings and graffiti....and this in order to leave a trace, to mark my passage, my presence....Today my practice is mainly linked to painting, engraving and drawing on various media. I work in complete freedom. without a workshop, the world being my giant workshop and a simple table or a floor or a wall is enough for me.
