My story...
"Beginning in France with an analog photography of a horse printed in dark room, a first artwork opening an artistic journey, inspired and nurtured by the countries I've lived in.
​
Mexico where I discovered the raw intensity of charcoal and used it to draw portraits.
​
Madrid where I could experiment with vibrant chalk pastels to capture the mediteranean colors and its expressive street art.
​
Then, Paris with pop culture collages, plain colors, and textured expressions.
​
And finally-so far Amsterdam, where the tactile joy of sculpting with clay bringing emotions to life into expressive portraits.
​
Now, I've merged traditional art with technology, embracing a new Data Art powered by AI avant-garde with HumAIn_Art playground
where AI transforms data into art experiences
to make it more human.

Once upon a time in France
​
'Horse' was my 1st photography as a kid.
During a school program, we went out in the country side to take our 1st photography with an analog camera. And this horse proudly took the pose for me. Then we printed our shots in a dark room, with the red light bulb, surrounded by chemicals, negative and photographic paper. This very day I discovered my passion for Art, my camera became my shadow and creativity my fuel.
​
20 years ago I left France to live in Mexico and I crossed with charcoal (black carbon). This raw and organic material gives a lot of authenticity to the drawings. The charcoal material is intense in its black but it also offers subtilities with its grey shades to portrait shades of emotions.

And thenI arrived in Madrid and I explore colors to give more life my art work.
Chalk pastels offered infinite color possibilities giving a new dimension in what an art piece can say.

​
Here some shootings while my street artists friends Guiom and Titi were artworking in the streets of Madrid. They made me curious so I dropped the camera for some spray cans and discover the pleasure of full body gesture while painting. The spray gives a kind of movement to the art piece.

​
After many years in the spanish sunsets, I left and I settled in Paris for few years. I found collages technics interesting to experiment. Plain colors and textures gave a new dimension to the expressions. Volume started to shape.

Clay Sculpture in Amsterdam (2012-today)
​
Then a new iterration started in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I wanted this time to be in contact with the material, searching for an authentic sensorial experience. So I bought a block of 10 kilos of clay to see what could I do with it. The clay material responds directly to you with no intermediaries, no other tools than your hands shaping faces, emotions and stories.
I discovered there a fantastic new way to share emotions the way I feel them.
