Biography
Born on July 6th, 1971 in Le Sentier, Switzerland, I work and live in Ferreyres, Vaud, Switzerland.
During my childhood, I draw quite a lot, and get a drawing price at college at age 16. This drawing ability probably comes from my father and grandfather, both gifted.
Unfortunately, I stop drawing for high level sports : I practice ski-jumping and cross-country skiing until 1992; I then work as a commercial assistant until 1998, then take a 3 year school to become an actor. I act in plays, short movies and adds until 2010; At that time I get back to drawing and painting.
Although I don’t have a degree in Arts, I read lot about it, meet artists, galleries, professionals, etc… .
Between 2010 and 2012, I try pastels, pen, collage and acrylic painting. I look for my identity and speech. Inspired by Gerhard Richter, I develop a similar technique with acrylics; my first show takes place in Gallery Nelly L’Eplattenier in Lausanne, CH.
Between 2012 and 2015, I give about 20 shows, half of them alone. In 2015 I co-create a group of artists, Riv’art, with whom we give a yearly exhibit.
From 2016 to 2018, I I give a dozen shows, mostly in galleries. My tastes and inspirations mostly go towards french-chinese artists such as Zao Wou-Ki, Chu The Chun and Wang Yan Cheng.
Betwwen 2017 and 2019, I develop three distinct creation techniques. In 2019 I get a privatel training for oil painting with a talented chilian artist. I get contracts for exhibits in galleries for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
