Background:
I am an artist, illustrator, and architect by training, and I live and work in Levallois-Perret. This dual background informs my daily drawing practice. My background in architecture gives me an appreciation for structure, while my sensibility as an illustrator seeks to breathe life into it and tell stories.
Approach:
My work is guided above all by the desire to tell stories through images. I’m particularly interested in children’s illustration, as well as travel journals and illustrated features for the press or institutions.
Inspired by my extended travels (particularly in India and Europe), I love the idea of documenting a place or an idea. I combine traditional techniques—ballpoint pen, watercolor, gouache, and oil—to capture the atmosphere of a place and infuse it with poetic and unexpected details.
Practice and Media:
My creative process is grounded in the compositional rigor inherited from architecture. It is this solid framework that then allows me to let my hand move freely.
I work exclusively with traditional mediums to maintain a connection with the material. Whether it’s the fluidity of gouache, the finesse of a Bic pen stroke, or the meticulous precision of oil painting, my goal is simply to translate inner visions and travel narratives into concrete, carefully crafted graphic works.
