“ How Feeling emotions looks like "
Self‑taught Franco‑American artist, born and raised in Alsace, France.
I use painting to express myself freely & spontaneously. Led by impulse,
I always seek emotional resolution while painting.
In my abstract paintings, I bring out my memories of striking landscapes, mixed together into harmony without respecting perspectives or conventional fundamentals. It’s about a feeling rather than a fixed reality.
My portraits showcase duality and contrast. The interplay between light & shadow, movement & stillness. Like in life. The in-between space between imagination & reality, where time often feels suspended and conceptual.
Ultimately, everything refers back to an emotional state: a pure and unfiltered state of being put onto canva.
I come from an environment where creative careers were almost seen as odd , thus me doing this, is bringing me closer to who I am truly & giving me the sense of freedom that I am longing for.
“It’s about a feeling rather than a fixed reality.”
HEAL, FEEL, DREAM.
These photos were taken on my iPhone, in places that I both lived & visited and deeply apreciated. The red canyons of Colorado, where my father originates from, followed by the Swiss Alps where I lived for 5 years and finally the volcanic Canari Islands, especially Lanzarote that I simply visited, but got incredibly inspired by it.
Memories that shaped my Art
I have been working on a new serie of paintings, which focuses more on energies rather than the emotions …. coming soon …
