"At the age of 14years, I discovered the soft pastel as a means of expression. I quit my emotions go on cardboard, giving forms semi-figurative often surprising. Attracted to the field of design, I have made a career, while continuing my creations to pastel. Today, I like to work the composition, add architectural details and accessories creative surrounding my characters, often of graceful women the eyes revealing. Since 2010, I used the wood as support. This which also allows me to achieve the finished furniture with a varnish to pastel with my own technique. My creations are for me a vital need and what I prefer, is to create a picture to finalize a decor that I have achieved, this is the apogee of my art."
