About The Artist

I am a professional painter, born in 1970 in Angoulême, France. I live and work in Paris. I started painting at the age of 7, teaching myself, and have specialized through the years in abstract atmospherism (collection : "Celestial Visions"), lyrical and expressionist abstraction (collections : 'Chromatic Fantasiae" and "Evanescence" 1 & 2"). Finding most of my inspiration in romantic poetry, nature and music, I have always considered painting as a form of language per se stemming from the musicality of the world : a language with its own rhythm and tempo and movement, associating shapes and colours to form a harmonious ensemble. However if my paintings could be put to music, what you would hear would be closer to jazz than to classical music – an impulsive music, instinctive yet controlled, and improvised around a leading theme ; a music all at once gentle, daring and unpredictable, and full of meaning. In the same fashion as jazz music, the true and full messages and symbols of a painting are rarely accessible at first glance….. You can never tell how many layers and themes will appear, unless you are prepared to study the composition to the full ! For colours to work harmoniously, they must call on one’s senses to vibrate in unison, they must dance on the canvas like so many notes dotted on the score of Life. Enjoy !
