After design studies in several major decorative art schools in Paris, I started my professional career as an interior designer with a five star hotel group mainly located in Paris and in the South of France. About ten years later, I entered the engineering department of Paris Airports, then directed by the renowned architect Paul ANDREU. This period of intensive architectural production in the development of CDG Airport will remain the most fulfilling time of my career as an interior designer.
At the same time, in the end of the nineties, I started to develop my artistic interests as a painter. This activity increased progressively and soon became an ungovernable passion.



Projects and themes of work
 
My adventure, as a painter, is a consequence of the revolution that new technologies have provoked in architecture and design methods. In a few years, traditional techniques like hand drawing, watercolor painting, airbrush and so, became obsolete depriving a whole designers generation of his know-how.

Then, forty year old, I decided to continue my career with the new technologies, and I thus limited my use of drawing and painting techniques to leisure time. The fact is I would never give up drawing and painting, and I chose to devote  all my free time to them.

My favorite themes are inspired by many influences, but surrealism is, most of all, often present in them. The subjects I like to explore are not strictly limited but those which allow me to create space give me the sensation of liberty.
I get inspiration from arts: ancient, modern and contemporary, but also into music, photography, voyages and daily life…
