Ever since I was a child, I've had a passion for drawing, and I've always enjoyed depicting everything around me. I've been painting since I was a teenager, when I started with gouache, then quickly moved on to acrylics, before finally specializing in oil paint. I was lucky enough to have a teacher at college who also taught at the Beaux Arts, with whom I gradually developed what has become my current painting style: a mixture of different influences such as cubism, symbolism, Dadaism... I developed this passion alongside my profession as an engineer. Paradoxically, engineering provided me with a certain framework and rigor, but it's in painting that I escape into a completely different world. For my painting, I work on the theme of symbolism to describe a character or illustration with a predefined theme, trying to represent it as simply as possible. My drawing is quite structured and worked on shapes, and I gradually introduce nuances on my canvases. I attach great importance to color harmony. I began exhibiting my work in France, in the Centre Val de Loire region, then in Caen, Bourges, Rennes, Paris, etc., and quickly moved on to exhibitions abroad (Germany, Italy, USA, Argentina, Taiwan, etc.). I also had the opportunity to exhibit with other artists.
