"Born in 1997, under another name and costume, in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, I moved to the Côte d'Azur for the good weather and the work that comes to my family.
After obtaining my baccalaureate in applied arts, I moved to Lyon in order to study drawing at the Émile Cohl school, where I will get a master's degree in illustration in 2021.
Passionate about writing as much as drawing, I published the same year Ceux que l'on ne voit pas — Those we don’t see—, a self-edited collection dealing with the work of nurses and psychologists of the INTERMED association.
In 2021, I participate in the collection of The flowers of Evil, published by the Editions Courtes et Longues. With the same publisher, my first children’s book, Alphonse & Boléro, came out in February 2022.
Using mainly pencils, colored pencils and gouache; my meticulous images are inspired by a dailypractice of ink sketching.
Contracted during childhood, my strange and incurable collectionnitis consists in keeping andinventorying small things: toys, insects, stones, ...
I see in these talismans miniature, intimate worlds that fit and can be hold in the palm of the hand.I like to draw characters/animals that stare with curious eyes, summed up to the essential like totems.
Also influenced by the imagination of dollhouses, I design tender friends and soft, colorful spaces, where finding yourself is a need. Where we take shelter and protect ourselves.
A withdrawal into reassuring, delimited universes, which also contain a form of obsessive madnessas well in the filling of teeming textures or in the swarm of compositions.
In a word, tranquildisturbing.”
