In 2000, during a tango concert by Nina Guevara in Barcelona, I was overcome by an intense emotion. It awakened in me an urgent need to convey it.
The very next day, I went to a DIY store to buy my first canvas and brushes.
I started with intuitive painting, guided by the appearance of lines, spontaneous shapes, and the color richness of black and white. I painted at night, completely absorbed in the gesture. The brush scraped the canvas, the material embedding itself into it.
Back in Paris — in Belleville, to be precise — I turned to drawing to serve my desire to convey the tension of the body. After learning the rhythmic interplay of lines that intertwine, collide, and respond to one another, I wanted to stage figures.
In 2010, silhouettes — alone or together — began to move through undefined spaces. They sought balance, engaged in an inner struggle whose rules only they knew. Forces canceled each other out; roles shifted and were shared.
In 2019, I started a new series: Faces, Turns, Mirages. This time, I sought to capture presence through facial expression. I painted imaginary figures that gradually came to resemble one another, as if born from the same lineage.
In the meantime, I explored new materials and techniques, diverting them according to my own research and language. The spontaneous forms of my beginnings continued into imaginary shapes and extended into writing. In engraving, I pursued the quest for invisible presence through embossing (Les Froissées), while in photography, with Les Percées, I tried to grasp the form and color of light.
When I create, I seek to make visible what escapes us — an emotion, a form, a trace. My work explores the risk of gesture, the tension between control and loss. Whether through fleeting faces, blue Bic pen forms, accumulated words, or hollow imprints, I strive to capture the presence — organic, vegetal, or mineral — of a living being in motion.
Self‑taught, my path is one of continuous learning, nourished by exchanges in collective studios and artist residencies. I cultivate a multidisciplinary practice open to experimentation, where each exploration feeds the others. My studio, located in Paris, welcomes visitors; I have exhibited at the Portes Ouvertes de Belleville since 2021.
