Bio/cv
Born in 1967 in Manosque (Côte d'Azur, France). Born into a family that was already interested in images. A prolific teenage imagination, nourished by hours of daily reading, country walks, television and a wide variety of encounters while helping out in his father's shop.
This same business enabled him to finance his passion for photography. Black and white lab, introduction to editing, colour and learning how to use the long pause, overprinting and all the things you can do with film when you have an imagination and no technical restrictions. Change of direction, vocational training in printing and graphic industries. The reproduction bench, the scanner, short courses in art history, photography and video editing and a bit of work psychology. Later, a CAP in 35mm projection, video option. Two parallel lives intersect, the professional and the photographic.
40+ years old, already questioning, necessary choices. It was to be Artist/Author and a degree in L.S.F. and language acquisition followed by the transition to digital. First art markets, fairs, galleries, exhibitions abroad. But sometimes life catches up with you and you put your career on hold. Nightmares replace dreams, reality ground you, your imagination takes another path. No more sharing. Just keep on creating to prove to yourself that the flame never goes out, that you still have the know-how, the knack...
Finally, one day, you regain control and you can rebuild. Start moving forward again, and above all start sharing, projecting yourself into the new world that has been built and developed around artistic creation.

Bibliography Aquatic and floral caress The touch, the sea spray, the scents, the sensuality of the universe that sometimes (often?) surpasses that of human beings. There's no repelling the caresses of the sun or the gentle breeze. There's no risk in allowing yourself to be intoxicated by perfumes, to be overwhelmed by the iodised scents of the seaside. Who hasn't marvelled at a sunset, or felt a sense of well-being bordering on ecstasy when admiring a landscape or another work of nature? And then, let's be honest, there's no quid pro quo, no false pretence, even if there may be trompe l'œil or optical illusions. Mother Nature charmed me and in the end... let herself be captured. You'll find her in the form of 26 portraits. The first 12 are photographs, the next 14 are "light painting" creations (painting with light), a branch of photography (writing with light). I hope you'll enjoy reading these pages, and if you get the shivers, I hope they're not caused by cold or fear, and that you'll let yourself go with a smile on your face.
