Even in school, I constantly sketched Asterix characters, which I would then distribute to my friends and teachers. But it was at the age of 17 that I created my first portrait on a simple sheet of A4 paper. And that was the starting point of a passion for portraiture that has never left me. Over the years, without any formal training or lessons, I developed my own technique and, using a graphite pencil, I create portraits from photographs. But it wasn't until 1999, when I expanded my repertoire by painting figures—nudes, draped figures, and so on—that I gained recognition by participating in several regional exhibitions and art fairs and winning numerous Jury, Salon, and People's Choice Awards. Since 2010, I have gradually begun adding color to my paintings, using pastel pencils and colored pencils. For me, drawing is first and foremost a pleasure, a passion. My works therefore have no message to convey. I choose my subjects and themes according to my tastes, desires, and mood. Beauty, tenderness, sensitivity, and sensuality inspire me, and I am happy when such emotions can be felt through my paintings.
