My Story

I do not know when the passion for drawing and painting manifested in me. However, what I remember is that my father told me that I was already holding a pencil before I could even walk. I drew like any child who loves colors and scribbles, carefree.

My first style exercise was in elementary school. I chose to draw a Virgin Mary which won me the second prize. The first was awarded to a boy who had drawn a battle-ready warship.
My love of the arts continued to grow thanks to my father's attention to me in this area. I had become an autodidact and a true fan of painting.

The Night of the Churches, Offerings

I participated in this exhibition, called "Offerings" with three other artists during the Night of Churches this year initiated by Annie Combon, even if I am not a Catholic. But I do agree that churches open their doors for cultural events.

The Night of the Churches, initiated by the Church of France, is a cult and cultural event included in the summer landscape of the dioceses since 2011, enjoying national recognition, and in which several hundreds of participants participate each year. churches.
