1962, borned very closed of Metz, Lorraine, France. A green and large country highlighted from many iron industries and an underground digged with secular tunnels made with human force. But, I was inspired first by the colors, the sounds, sprays and particular odors of the see landscapes. An inspiration which returns periodically and has still an influence in my current painting projects.

During the first period, since I was very young, I made an incredible number handmade drawings, making laugh my classroom buddies. Later, in 1996, I replaced the pencil with oil colors and made my first paintings representating my son on the beach.

Despite my drawing dispositions and envying to join an art school, I have oriented my professional carrier toward IT jobs. My drawing passion was intact during all this time and I gradually improved alone the oil technics with many experiences.

And the meetings with artists, exhibitions and associative actions, reenforced what will become my passion, the art paintings. I paint to nourish my creative appetite, to fix the beauty of the images which pass in my life, to return my frustrations later, to deliver colors. I’m free with my own art thinking, looking for into my own desire new experiences in order to offer a large vision af my passion.
