• Q. Tell us about yourself and how you came to be an artist…

  • A. I'm French, based in Barcelona for more than 10 years. I started to paint when I started to feel trapped in a cubicle, staring at a computer screen all day. I was really bored at work. I wasn't using my creativity or my imagination. I wanted to do something more fulfilling, then I remembered that I really loved to paint when I was younger. So I took back my brushes.

  • Q. What is your creative process ?

  • A. I am a highly sensitive person. I process emotions deeply so I easily get overwhelmed.

  • Q. Your main character trait?

  • A. I get inspiration from every where, I like to stare at people, and find beauty in everyday life. I take plenty of notes, drawings, pictures and screenshots. All elements I use to compose my paintings. I also take photos of myself if I need a reference for a specific posture. I paint numerous layers of colors, I like to play with transparency of the colors. I usually paint a few artworks at a time. The hardest part for me is to finalize, lots of my artworks will never show up as they stay halfway done.

  • Q. Describe your work in three words...

  • A. Bold, sensual and intimate.
