Artist Portraits

"I started professional photography in the early 1980s. At the time I had a dual role: both a judicial investigator and a photographer within the same institution: the Gendarmerie."...

"I always wanted to be an artist. My father encouraged me to draw and paint. When I was 10 years old, he gave me a small easel and a box of oil colors. Ever since I have been addicted to painting."...

"As a child I always enjoyed making things but the real epiphany came on a family trip to Paris at the age of twelve."...

My encounter with the artistic world began at a very young age. My brother, ten years older than me, a photographer, needed a model to create his creations and from the age of 7, he made me take strange poses and modified his photos during his film development...

After I completed my studies, I had a strong feeling that I did not want to immerse myself in applied handwork - painting, graphic techniques and other forms of artistic expression that require a complex technical process."...

"I got into graffiti very early on. Illegal or legal I have always been particularly fond of wastelands, I loved exploring them and bringing them back to life with the color of aerosols.
