“Art is a wound turned into light.”
Georges Braque
After nearly two decades, I found my way back to creating. What began as a refuge—a means of rediscovering balance and peace—has gradually become something gentler: a quiet dialogue between myself and the simple joy of making art.
In my work, I merge the principles of Tonalism with the unique expressive power of pastels, crafting an atmospheric visual experience. The muted earth tones and soft transitions evoke a dreamlike nostalgia, reminiscent of old, faded photographs coming to life.​

My creative process begins with a layer of pastel dust, gently spread across the paper.
I establish the forms through tone, blending the overlapping layers with my fingertips to transform the image into a hushed scene that already hints at the final piece. The focus is on delicate touches and seamless blending, which lend my paintings their distinctive softness.
In the final stages, I refine the details, searching for that elusive moment where the artwork truly comes alive.
I live and create in France, drawing inspiration from the stillness of nature, the ever-changing dance of light, and the melancholy beauty of fleeting moments. Through my paintings, I aim to create tranquillity and preserve the wistful charm of time.
