Approach
In my practice, I explore the heritage of the human in that it is different from that of the animal or the artificial intelligence. Different themes feed my creation including dream, mythology, symbol. My exploration is done through different media (painting, sculpture, collage, printmaking, textile, embroidery, installation), but always based on the living model. The sketches made during the live model drawing sessions are directly supporting and inspiring and transforming my work. I thus divert the usual codes of the sketch of the living model (sobriety, monochrome, details) to illustrate with many colors and media the richness of the human experience.

Pièces détachées
The chimera is a fabulous animal from Greek mythology. Chimeras are beings bringing together cells from two different origins. How did we get from one to the other? "Pièces détachées" takes a look at the morality of certain genetic manipulations and questions the risks of ethical slippages, such as the commercialization of biological material.
LE NOIR DE L’ENCRE
My automatons. Man-machine, benefit-curse, liberation-enslavement: the black ink leads to deepen these dualities. Prints combining techniques and black inks on white paper bear witness to my attempts to give shape and life to a possible future.
