Bio


I grew up in the 80s in the suburbs of Montreal, Canada. I loooooved Boy George.  I was the kind of kid that watched the same movies over and over again (and I still do).  I come from a family of artists.  Musicians on my mother side, and painters on my father's side.
Art is what I love to do.  It helps me navigate this crazy world that we live in.
I also like animals, rock’n’roll, stories, biographies and everything that has cheese in it.

Artistic process:


My practice begins with extensive photographic documentation. I continuously collect images of scenes, objects, and moments that capture my attention; some of these photographs later serve as points of departure for paintings.

I work primarily with acrylic paint, applying it directly to the surface using bold, saturated colours. Through an emphasis on shape, the subject is reduced to its formal components and gradually shifts toward abstraction. Rather than building the image through drawing, I apply paint chromatically, completing all elements of one colour before moving on to the next. This process—akin to painting by numbers without a predetermined guide—intentionally generates distortions, simplifications, overlaps, and omissions. The unpredictability of the initial layers allows the painting to assert its own internal logic and narrative. The final stages involve negotiating a balance between beauty and strangeness, precision and roughness, control and immediacy.

While painting, I engage consciously with visual language—shape, colour, texture, and composition—while deliberately suspending questions of meaning. I trust that the completed work will contain sufficient visual density, as well as spaces of ambiguity, to invite viewers to project their own interpretations, associations, and inquiries.

In retrospect, recurring themes come across the work, including actor and spectator, interpersonal relationships, strength and vulnerability, mortality and memory, metamorphosis, monstrosity, hybridity, mythology, and the tension between the familiar and the uncanny.
