I am a contemporary painter living and working in the Upper Aude Valley of southern France. I explore the shifting boundary between location, memory, and light.

Through layered oil paintings inspired by the surrounding landscape, people and place.

🎨 SALON DES ARTS 2026 — AXAT 🎨

The Salon des Arts in Axat has come to a close.

Although I wasn’t able to make the opening, I was honored to have two of my paintings included in this year’s exhibition hanging next to so many other talented artists.

A big thank you to Les Amis du Haut du Village, the organizers and volunteers, and to everyone who came out to see the work.

I'm proud to be part of the creative community here in the Aude.

The Interval
Oil on canvas
97 × 130 cm
2026

There’s a point where a view stops being a landscape and becomes something else, color, movement, memory.

I’m interested in that interval. The space between seeing a place and remembering it. Between recognizing what’s in front of you and watching it begin to dissipate.

Rooted in the Current

Oil on canvas

The river is always moving, but everything along its edge is holding on for dear life.

Roots, branches, rocks, reflections. They get tangled together until it becomes hard to tell what is solid and what is moving.

I wanted the painting to live somewhere in that confusion.

What Is Reflected

The river never really holds still long enough to see it clearly. Light, trees, rocks, sky, everything gets broken apart and put back together on the surface.

That's what I keep coming back to, that moment when you recognize something, and then you don't. Your mind fills in the gaps.
