Born 23/09/1958 in Alsace (France).

Painting is for me a voyage towards the interior which enables me to multiply it’s strength, sometimes exuberant, to familiarize myself with happiness and to tickle the stars. These past years, the human being  and his activities have been an integral  part of  my thoughts. Indeed, of revisited characters, purified, their silhouettes in an elegant association done in oil, acrylic, collage up to mixed techniques. This ambivalence between brittleness and rusticity of matters testifies to ambiguities which govern the human destiny which, in my eyes, is not only ridiculous or problematic but as much carrying hope, love, spirituality and happiness.

I would like to offer you all this sun that inhabits me.
