About The Artist
My mission is to explore the relationship between what we see around us and what we experience internally. My work is about translating perceptual states into visual language.
I draw my inspiration from the many landscapes I encounter, from the windswept coast of Brittany, where I spent my childhood, to the radiant vistas of California, where I now live.
Nature, the Ocean or the flora, are a recurrent element of inspiration for my work.
My process involves painting with a range of media (watercolor, acrylic, aerosol and oil paint). While painting, I navigate between abstract expressionism and building the structure of the surface.
Throughout my life I have been strongly inspired by painters such as J.M.W Turner, Mark Rothko, G. Richter,Peter Doig and Cecily Brown. With my Art, I aim to spark a connection and offer an experience of positive energy.
