What better time than the beginning of 2025 to welcome you to my website?
I would like to share with you, dear visitors, my best wishes for this new year. For me, it’s a new era that marks the start of a whole new way of communicating about my work. The creation of this website aims to expand the reach of my work, beyond traditional platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. It hasn’t been easy for me to find the direction I wanted to take.
But for now, I wanted to talk about painting, this new year and other little things.
As Bono used to sing. Nothing changed to me, everything evolved.
I got off to a great start in January with an internship in an animation studio. There, I was able to work on a short film project featuring an ecological fable, “The Legend of the Hummingbird”, directed by Morgan Devos. This experience gave me the opportunity to meet people who have greatly influenced the course of future events ! At the end of this great experience, I was keen to get back to traditional painting. I shared this with my eminent painting teacher at Emile Cohl, Matthieu Ferrand, and he shared his know-how with me. That’s how I started oil painting in February 2024.
In May 2024, I took part in a group exhibition with Emile Cohl students at the prestigious Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Exhibition which was then extended to the Musée Faure in Aix-les-bains. Doesn’t it feels like I’m skipping a chapter…? This will be the subject of my next article on this website !
Lately, I’ve been… Multidisciplinary.
When I graduated in June, I considered that I could officially label myself as an artist. That is how it went for me. This status is much more than a name… It’s a long-term project which, for me, goes hand in hand with the eternal question of the quest for meaning.
As my research for truth progressed, I realized that I always wanted, since a young age, to get involved in a craft project alongside my status as an artist. Today, I’m working in a ceramics studio which is promoting french craftsmanship, that I’ll be presenting to you very soon. I work there as a modeler. It’s been for now a great experience.
One of the most wonderful meeting I had this year was with the film director, Izù Troin. We’ve influenced each other’s gaze through various artistic pursuits, and this has led us to work together on the artistic direction of an animated film project. My knowledge of modeling, painting and drawing has enabled me to contribute to all these artistic projects. They all have been sources of intense fulfillment in my practice, allowing me to feed it in terms of techniques as well as subjects.
Let’s be clear: for the time being, this site will remain dedicated to my practice of painting ! For a long time, I wondered what form it would take… Until now, I know I’ll be satisfied with a showcase site, allowing me to show you the different subjects I tackle in painting. As messy as my work desk can be, I’m trying my best to provide a clear view on my works and will soon be able to categorize my paintings in different series that I’m working on and been really excited to show you. Thank you for following my journey.
I hope 2025 brings everything you need, love and cherish.
