About me

I was born in the city of Saint-Brieuc, in Brittany, France. Having not attended an art school and never having grown up in a city, I struggled to find my place within the traditional education system. I turned quite early to artistic creation, initially through drawing, and then, from 2022, I focused exclusively on painting and collage, in order to tell moments of my life in my own way through my work.

As a self-taught artist, I have long had to find my own learning methods to improve my painting and understand the various mechanisms that shape the art market. This approach has given my work a much more intimate perspective, drawing from memories that are both personal and private.

After a year of painting and collage, I obtained my first artist residency with the beer brand Desperados:

January 2023: Residency at La Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille, for the advertising campaign with Desperados and Konbini.

June 2023: Collaboration with Tools Surfboard in Les Sables d’Olonne, creating artwork on a surfboard.
