My grandmother recounted always remembering me as a child, sitting on the livingroom floor, painstakenly tracing lines of "c" on paper, calm, immersed.  I was two years old. At a very young age I wanted to know how to write. After my initial years aboard a small sailing boat on the Mediterranean coast of Algeria my family moved us to the suburbs of Paris. When I turned eleven I received as a gift the entire Jules Verne collection, illustrated by Alphonse de Neuville. The discovery that images made exclusively with black lines making fantastic imaginery worlds arise fascinated me. As a teenager I started to draw with pencils, mainly copying ads and portraits that I liked. I began to nourrish a deep desire to go to art school, seeking an environment to understand the thinkers and artists who fascinated me with their abilities to synthetise thought in one image.

In 2000 I began attending L’école des Beaux-Arts d’Aix-en-Provence, followed by L’Ecole de Communication Visuelle d’Aix-en-Provence in 2002, graduating with honors in 2006 .
