I had my first contact with paint age 15 when I discovered graffiti and tags and started writing in Paris’ streets. Later I began painting figurative subjects and experimenting with traditional mediums. 


My Bachelors in Journalism made me measure the power of my passion for art and redefine my artistic goals to a career. It taught me an important number of skills in photography and editing, which are essential in my present visual artist workflow.


For 5 years, I studied drawing and oil painting in Paris public workshops, where I had many teachers including Gilles Fourgassié, surrealist painter once mentee of Nicolas Wacker.
