About me

I’m a french born artist / designer living in Australia since 2004. I now work part time as an editorial designer for one of the largest publishing companies in Australia as well as pursuing my dream as an artist. I have been commissioned in various art projects including an exhibition in Melbourne and Sydney. My work was also featured in the 2010 Semi-Permanent book, a few magazines, the TOP design TV shows and some blogs.
I have a passion for art, technology and storytelling and i can see how my design work is linked to my art and vice-versa.
I mainly depict the human-animal interaction in our modern society through the making of art. Our fast-paced modern world doesn’t always allow us to experience an intimate connection with the natural world we are hoping to save.
As a figurative painter, I explore the forms and meaning in our human and animal worlds. I use a pop-infused colour palette to express the emotions and the distinct personality of my subjects. Colour combinations I use convey particular feelings and self-expression. I use different types of palette knives to give a rough texture, and to capture and invoke the raw emotions on to the canvas. I then employ drip-painting using a paint brush.
Aside from my paintings, I’m also working with a friend on an art project: Endcount, aiming to bring attention to animal species on the brink of extinction. It’s a generative art piece.

“Taxi, taxi! ” it was 2.30pm in the afternoon in NYC, 40 degrees near fifth avenue. “Can we please go to Grand Soho hotel?” I said with my french accent.
The driver switched on the air conditioning and turned on the radio, it was Bill Evans, a soft, gentle jazz melody. We drove around the busy and noisy streets of NY; the big skyscrapers, the stunning art deco buildings that run the length of 42nd street, the fashionable shops, jazz clubs, the restaurants, I saw thousands of taxis, billboards AND people everywhere….
