The Beauty of "France" by French painter


This Artist was born and raised in Macon and started painting at a very young age.
As a teenager, he mimicked the effects of the patina, marks, damage and wear and tear that he observed on the facades of buildings. Damaged walls and ruins fascinated him and became the source of his inspiration.


He studied at the Métiers d'Art in Paris in graphic design and décor, where he learned and refined his technique, in particular, that of trompe l'oeil.


The Pop Art (twentieth century) and Street Art(contemporary) movements inspire him. He prefers techniques such as graffiti and stencils that are brightly and slightly unreal. Gradually he has developed his own style: incisive and powerful era fics.

He paints poetic faces in the style of stencils on abstract backgrounds. He works the background with gradients effects and patinas, like the surface of an old wall. He uses a coating that he shapes, scratches and scrapes until he gets the desired effect. He then applies bright, fluorescent colors layer by layer. Unpredictable, they seep into the background and cracks of the canvas. He then outlines the shadow of a woman's face, anonymous and fragile. Drawn in pencil first and then with black paint, it is superimposed on the landscape. The design and color combine to create a portrait with a strong presence and a penetrative gaze.
He searches for his own design aesthetics in the ruins of the work. Aged 28, he extends his performance onto other surfaces such as furniture and clothing accessories.
