History of Art at the University of Geneva and classical art training at a number of teaching institutions including the School of Decorative Arts of Geneva. Art studio since approximately 15 years.

Techniques :
Oil painting on canvas, wood and on hand-made paper. Paper making. New media. Installations.


Statement :
My art work is essentially centered on the research of light, transparency, marks and imprints, colours, lines and textures. My paintings are inspired by Jazz music and strive to possess their own musicality. Moreover, they speak of a passage between the interior and the outside. They are to be understood rather as suggestions than as obligations and certainties.

My train of thought has taken me to continue my painting on stelas, in order to pursue and establish a real dialogue between these “sculptures” and my paintings.


Other artistic activities :

Practice of Jazz music.
