Born in Montreal, Canada in 1977. Self-taught painter, initiated into drawing at an early age, he very rapidly develops his interest and especially his aptitude for graphic arts.

Only after finishing his studies (1996) does he start painting more conscientiously, working especially with oil paint and pencil. Since then, he has participated in many group and solo exhibits.

In 2005, The need to create more spontaneously becomes overbearing. So much to say, so little time. From there emerges more spontaneous and energetic paintings and a desire to explore medias and mediums.
