I am a french painter born in the city of Marseilles in 1965. Since my childhood, I have always drawn portraits. During the late 1990's I worked in several painting workshops in Brussels, Belgium.

In a workshop near Paris I approached academic oil painting through the study of the Masters (Raphaël, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, Géricault...).
