I was born in Angers in 1969.
I spent the first 18 years of my life in a small town in the Layon valley. Coming from an environment where art and culture had little importance, I cultivated myself by participating in an amateur theater show where I discovered literature and poetry. This discovery prompted me to take an interest in painting, in particular the avant-garde movements of the interwar period. It was at this time that I discovered the work of Antonin Artaud, the novels of Céline and the songs of Léo Ferré.
At 16, still self-taught, I began to produce my first images around the theme of the human figure. I experiment with many graphic techniques in the context of mail art and micro-publishing, which I actively practice in high school. This means of expression allows me to discover the layout through the creation of magazines, fanzines and other media for which I produce many images often in very different styles.
In 1989 after a hard schooling I entered the Penninghen school. A new period is opening up for me where I discover academic drawing and graphic arts while continuing my personal research in painting. My formats increase in size and my technique turns resolutely towards acrylic on canvas.
After several exhibitions including a participation in the Salon de la Jeune Peinture de Montrouge in 1996, my work is gradually moving towards digital technology thanks to the Photoshop software which is becoming truly usable for the creation of increasingly sophisticated images.
In 1999 I turned to digital. Mixing two complementary approaches: on the one hand, commissioned work for the press (Liberation, Le Monde, Le Temps, Télérama, etc.) around topical or societal subjects. On the other hand a personal research around the figure and the human body.
Since 2019, I have been carrying out several approaches simultaneously: digital work and traditional research around a single medium: charcoal.
