Before I started painting, I wanted to be a writer. I love short stories and poetry in particular, knowing how to express something with few words to give space to the reader's imagination. Painting and the visual arts have this in common with poetry: they leave the artist in the background and the observer is also the creator.
I am fascinated by asymmetrical figures, imperfect edges, and ordered chaos. Abstract art has its own alphabet, using colors, shapes, and textures to tell a universal and at the same time totally personal story.
I was born in France, but my family moved to Spain when I was a teenager. I now live in a coastal town called Sitges. There I find the main source of my inspiration, I draw on adventures, sensations and feelings and I express them in my work. I play with different media such as watercolour, acrylic, spray paint and pastels to create stories made with colours.
