“ 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 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.
Ultimately, everything refers back to an emotional state: a pure and unfiltered state of being put onto canvas.
I come from a family &environment that did not encourage creative careers, thus me doing this, is bringing me closer to who I am truly and a feeling of freedom.
HEAL, FEEL, DREAM.
I stand for a simpler world where we can be our true selves, free from judgment and others’ expectations, choosing authenticity, freedom, and peace.
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 …
