Biography

Born on July 19th, 1964.

Background

I have been painting since 1998. Previously, writing was my only passion. I wrote four novels.

Painting was a secret ambition for years. One fine day, I decided to fulfil my dream. I registered with the Paris Art school’s workshops and I followed the teaching of the artists François Bard, Olga Rochard, Daniel Fisher, Michel and Gerard Village, Regina Virserius, Antoine Pettel.

At the same time as painting, I am also a journalist. I’ve created my own information website, Le Guide de l’Artiste in 2021.
