Here, we invite you to discover and celebrate art in all its forms, by living a unique and immersive experience in the world of contemporary art.
An unexpected artistic journey:
When I decided, at the age of 55, to trade in my complex calculations as a nuclear engineer in the Landes region of France for paintbrushes and palettes, a fascinating story of transformation, passion and rediscovery was born.
After a successful career in a field where every detail is calculated and measured, I chose to follow a path where colors and emotions freely guide my hands.
My unusual journey beautifully illustrates that the quest for self-realization and personal growth can begin at any chapter of life.
This life change began with a personal revelation. After two decades in nuclear power, I decided to turn to art, discovering a burning passion for watercolor and Impressionism. My self-taught approach transformed this exploration into a consuming passion, where each brush dipped in color becomes an extension of my self-expression. For me, art is defined by three words: Expressionism, Color, and Emotion.
My works, vibrant with life, are fragments of my soul that I display on canvas. I see color as the driving force of my creativity, guiding the brush through mysterious and moving dialogues with the canvas. Each color blend is a discovery, a new mystery to decipher, offering a new way of seeing the world. I grew up in a home where art and fashion were omnipresent: my father was a painter and my mother a fashion designer, I was surrounded by artistic influences from a very young age. These early exhibitions planted the seeds that would blossom decades later, demonstrating that the roots of creativity can grow slowly but surely. Since I began painting, I have shared my work internationally, exhibiting from Barcelona to Zurich, and from London to Paris. These exhibitions are not only showcases for my works, but also meeting places for those seeking to understand the depth of color's emotional impact. I have exhibition plans in Nantes, Luxembourg, and Brussels, where my art will continue to reach and inspire a wide audience. My greatest wish is for every artist to be respected and appreciated during their lifetime, a dream that reflects my own desire for recognition and acceptance. My advice to those discovering my work for the first time is simple yet profound: "Let the colors speak to you. They have so much to say, if only we take the time to listen." The transition from nuclear engineering to art may seem unlikely, but for me, it has opened a new world of possibilities. My journey is a powerful testament to personal transformation through art, where each canvas becomes a dialogue between my past as an engineer and my present as an artist. By letting the colors sing, I invite you to dream and rediscover your own inner world through abstraction and emotion.
