Born in Saint-Amand-Montrond, a small provincial town in central France, it was in contact with nature that my artistic tastes and interests developed. A nature that is never very far, even today, from my work as a painter; who showed me harmony in all things, that of forms and colors, that of sounds, that of measure; who guided me, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, between concrete and abstract, visible and invisible, recognizable and unrecognizable.

After university studies in classical letters (Latin, Greek), then in art history and archeology (master's degree in contemporary art at Paris I - Sorbonne), finished the pillars of childhood, drawing and piano, I will have to wait many years to find them a "beyond" in watercolour. And this resonance of the past resurfaced under my fingers and imposed itself never to disappear again. I paint, therefore I am… since the 1990s.

It was at this time that I resumed the practice of drawing, first at the art school of Saint-Amand-Montrond, with Yves Coffin, in drawing and watercolor, then in Paris, at the academy de Port-Royal, at the ADAC, at the Académie de la Grande-Chaumière, in the workshops of Sophie Janet (work on composition and still lifes) and Frédéric Mathieu (live model, perspective, non-academic drawing techniques and sketching), then at the Ateliers beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris in Montparnasse (Maigret and Sainte-Claire-Deville studios) and in Sévigné (Gérard Venturelli). The meeting with the watercolourists Jean-Louis Morelle, Ewa Karpinska, Annick Nuger, the internships with the Chinese painter Cao Bei-an, the Belgian-Canadian master Roland Palmaerts and Marie-Line Montécot were decisive in my development.

My participation in salons are multiple and often rewarded after 2000: Grand Prize of Honor of the Federation of Fine Arts in 2002 and Gold Medal of Artistic Merit in 2005, at the Salon d'Argelès-sur-Mer, Fine Art Prize at the Hyogo Museum (Kobe) in 2005, Watercolor Prize at the Salon des Lions Clubs in Bourges in 2009, First Prize for landscape and Second Prize for portraiture at the Salon du Val d'Or in Meillant in 2009, First Prize for watercolor at the Salon Arts Passion in Ablon-sur-Seine in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Silver Medal of the City of Paris at the Salon du Cercle des Gobelins and Fine Arts in 2010, First Prize for watercolors at the Salon des Amis de Montmartre in Issoudun in 2011, Gold Medal and General Council Prize at the Salon du Val de Cher in Saint-Victor in 2011, Second Prize at the Salon of the Canadian Watercolor Society in Montreal in 2013…

A constant is the Salon du dessin et de la peinture à l'eau in Paris (now at the Grand Palais) since 2004, I also became a member of the Taylor Foundation in 2006, of the Society of French Artists in 2007 and of the Municipal Circle des Gobelins and Beaux-Arts in 2008… to name but a few milestones.
