Born on June 30, 1974 in Nantes, I practise painting since the 16 years age. My beginnings started with the rural hearth of Aussonne (31) with the artist Mahité Rovino who taught me the oil-base paint. Two years later I began the pastel which I practise now regularly. My favorite subjects with the pastel are the naked ones and the portraits which adapt very well to this technique. I began the exposures to the 17 years age with the living room of autumn of Colomiers and a contest of painting in Arcachon where I gained the 2nd price of the young talents. Since I expose regularly in the Art galleries amateurs and the art galleries on Toulouse.
