There are so many ways to be locked up
And so few exits, to escape.
I am hostage to my own cage.
I will spare you any mirage,
I have found all the ways to wall myself in,
But never found the key.
So here I am, thinking of myself as a magician,
By making a dove appear
instead of my heart.
Isn't that a shame?
I wanted to depict a world
In which my soul does not succumb,
But basically;
I'm just a poor illusionist
Creating surrealist subterfuges.
Behind the scenes,
Is that I am a vain deserter,
And my victorious sentence.

The aesthetics of my works are only their emerged part.
I started drawing from early childhood. Since the age when a child is first given a pencil, I have never stopped creating. Self-taught, I used observation to represent my world to myself. I was interested in any artistic field, painting on canvas, wood, various supports and sculpture.
I like to link the mediums together, to reincarnate a subject in several forms. I brought many of my paintings to life in texts, which I then transcribed into music.
After general studies, I worked in the entertainment industry to work on large format frescoes. Since March 2020, I have declared myself an artist author to spoil the canvases of its cracks.
So I started to give birth to my current style. I locate my works in black surrealism. Paintings mixing dreams and darkness. For me, creation is vitality, it is a visceral need to exteriorize my cerebral darkness. Psychology is a primary subject in my paintings. I struggle tirelessly to find meaningful metaphors, hoping they resonate with a few people.
I attach the greatest importance to illustrating psychiatric illnesses, psychic suffering. Too often in the shadow of our society, I want at my small level, to consider them at their proper size.
For art; my life, my traumas, my pathologies, but also those of warriors I have known, have become my muses. Expressing the shadow imperceptible to the naked eye, in surrealist metaphors, is for me a way of transforming suffering into an image, and thus of making it sparkle beyond the cerebral cage.
Isn't it completely surreal to want to emphasize the shadows?
