Biography

“His painting is a reflection on colours in order to express emotions.”

Self-taught, he began painting around the age of twenty and learned engraving in the studio of the American painter Henri Goetz. Drawn to Supports/Surfaces and the New York School, he chose abstraction. He likes to let himself be guided by inspiration, by the risks one must take and by the unpredictable role of chance.
