Colored pencils on linen pannels, detail, 2020

I am a French artist, working in Los Angeles where I have resided for the past 10 years.

After moving to California, my work evolved into mixing new mediums. The Californian light and colors resembled those of the Mediterranean where I grew up and by 2016, my photos became diaries. Progressively, my desire to paint was driven by a need for immediacy and texture. I focused on responding to my relations with my environment through multiple mediums, going from watercolor to oils, to colored pencil to inks.

I have shaped my works with a strong musical influence, treating pieces as compositions or melodies that connect reality and fiction together. In fact, I created an imaginary music label, “Wonderland Stereo” which took me 7 years to complete. It includes photography, painting, writing and sound which gave me the ability to conjure up a fictional world. My work is, at this point, a constant search on the self through harmony and dissonance, contemplation and disorientation, ever evolving with me.
