I am inspired by the duality between what is seen and what is felt, by the language of color, and by the nuances of the human experience across contexts. New York City is a constant source of inspiration—its energy, its people, as well as quieter elements such as the moon, flowers, and the textures of aged walls.
I see myself as a New Yorker who values exploration and creative freedom. Those around me—friends, family, and clients—often describe me as an empathetic and curious individual who encourages them to continue creating.
I primarily work with acrylic paint, while also incorporating inks, watercolor, plaster on canvas, and paper in both figurative and abstract pieces. Recently, I have been exploring collage using my own hand-painted papers, allowing for new layers of texture and composition.
In parallel, I run a business specializing in bespoke finishes and murals for high-end renovations. This professional practice has deeply enriched my artistic work, strengthening my technical precision and material understanding. I am self-taught in a range of faux finishing techniques, including the color matching of rare woods and stones.
My “Vitiligo Project” received significant attention from CNN.com and Mic.com. Earlier in my career, I worked in set design on projects involving Michael Jackson and other high-profile artists. More recently, I completed two commissions for Sting and Trudie Styler in 2024.
I also recently finished restoring the mural The Lady Sleeps, painted by Charles Graham in 1948 at the historic Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem, New York.
My studio is located at the Brooklyn Army Terminal with Chashama. I have exhibited in France, New York State and New York City, as well as in India.

Here is a description of my life thru my series:
I am a New-York based French painter and multimedia artist. I have worked for the best in the industry in set design, decorative finishes as well as for the decision makers of the industrial world with my graphic facilitation. Throughout the years, I developed my own experience of different applications of creativity and its process. As a result, I am free when painting my own artwork as I am unbound by the temptation to create something for anyone. Artwork is a very separate, intimate, and personal place for me. It constitutes where I am fully myself. My series are different from one another, yet there is a "fil rouge", a thread overall. My role as an artist is to peel off a layer of reality and replace it with my interpretation. I bring it about by adding paint to someone's face in order to reveal an emotion (Facemotions series), by enhancing someone's beauty such as people with Vitiligo with paint onto the skin as well, by freeing colors and lines on the surface of water ( Reflections series) by revealing the creative energy and making it visible (Embodiment) by creating my own emotional landscapes ( Abstract series), by representing the Natural world mid-way between the abstract and the figurative ( Nature series). I am drawn towards the creation of what is seen on the surface and what is going on inside at the same time. On one side, there is the face, the body, the landscape, the water, the vegetation, architecture and on the other there is "more". There is the duality in my work of what is recognizable and represented in a figurative way and what is hidden to the eye but constitutes the human experience that I interpret in an abstract way. My hybrid and experimental art traveled across the world to be featured in exhibits in France, India, and cities throughout the United States. My “Vitiligo” project transformed the traditional canvas workspace into a multidimensional stage, as I painted my subjects in real time, similar to my series “Facemotions” and “Embodiment”. I am currently finalizing two series: one called "New York series" with its triptych and " the city that never sleeps" series and another one called "Moons series" in my art studio at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Brooklyn, New York.
