BIO

I paint emotions. My process is a topography of intense, unfiltered experiences. I work in layers to capture moments and feelings—inspired by literature, theatre, films, and the texture of everyday life.

As a self-taught French artist, my work is a deeply personal and visceral inquiry. My background in literature informs my practice. My language is abstract, anchored in realism; I paint the essence of a person or maps of emotions. Working primarily in oil, I build texture with a strong rhythm of colour (with brushes, palette knives, or my fingers), creating painted surfaces with a tangible relief that catches light. From these richly textured grounds, dynamic movements and strong lines emerge. They embody the full spectrum of human emotions, from joy to anguish, and merge into a unique visual language.

I collect fragments of texts and photographs to explore a few essential questions: What does it look like, someone who feels deeply? How can the universal find form in a contemporary work? What colours, what shapes, what textures carry it? Ultimately, I hope to create a body of work that transcends intellectual analysis and evokes universal raw emotions.
