USA, Canada, England ...

My desire to discover other cultures took me to these English-speaking countries where I could discover and appreciate artists like Turner, Koons, Kooning ... and music related to these countries, including Jazz.

East Asia ... Japan ...
    My grandfather was passionate about the colonies and as a child I traveled in his stamp collections. Later, my encounter with the world of Asia through martial arts, introduced me to Japanese culture.

Middle East ... Egypt
   Several stays and this desire that pushes me to go further .... Egypt had held me by the heart for a long time already, but I had to lift the veil on a city which fascinated me by remaining mysterious: Cairo, this "Victorious" that does not leave anyone indifferent she would open my doors and give me some of its secrets?
It was in the 70's that I discovered floral art thanks to my mother florist and Ikebana (Japanese floral art).

Ten years later, I work on the technique of blown glass and photography. I enter the Fine Arts of Blois.
At the same time I participate in art exhibitions in Paris where I am awarded.
- 1996: Mark my entry into a research group 'The GRIFE' where I study drawing, Indian ink ....

- 2000: Will be the year of a turn with the creation of my workshop, my studio...
            and looking for a graphic and a personal style.
- 2002: First solo exhibition on travel.

2003: I embarked on the creation of paintings on frames in original formats and works on the notion of destructuring of the frame and polyptyles. Driven by the enthusiasm of art critics and the growing interest of the public I participate in various exhibitions in Paris and abroad (Rome, Barcelona, ​​Florence ...), wins many awards and distinctions and starts trading at Drouot .
2005: The exhibitions are linked and my career takes off.
I end the year with a participation in the prestigious show of the National Society of Fine Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris where I receive the prize "Universe of Arts".
