You have a degree in visual arts and textile design, where does this passion for art come from?

I grew up with a mother who drew a lot, and who introduced me to art at a very young age through books that caught my curiosity. It has always been part of my daily life, as a child I could draw for hours on end, and then I started to develop my own culture during my studies, notably through the discovery of contemporary art. 

How do the different stages of the creation of a print proceed?

Generally, there is often a starting color atmosphere, I also try to define shapes and a global spirit, a desired style before launching into hand tests, often with ink. 
But I also like to do a thorough iconographic research before I start. 

You come from “la Croix Valmer”, what remains of this summer childhood in your drawings and prints?

A lot haha, I think you can feel it quite well, nature and Provence still have a strong influence on my work even if I also like to work in a more abstract, cold and less figurative way.

You who handle color extremely well, which one defines you the best? 
Thank you very much!
At the moment I have an obsession with burnt chocolate associated with a deep purple. 

Which artists from the past and present influence you the most?
Nature before artists to be honest, but I can't deny that Matisse had a strong influence on my work. 

Who would you like to spend an evening alone with?
With Charlotte Perriand without hesitation! She is a person whose ideas and aesthetics touch me. But also with Christo and Jeanne Claude, and Martin Margiela.
