I am a french painter living in Paris, working mostly with watercolour and oils. My subject matters range from landscapes and cityscapes to human figure. 2 important things feed my work : travel and « en plein air » painting. Plein air or outdoor painting, whether it be in nature or in cities, in particular, is a crucial experience, as it allows me to paint fast, « alla prima », with as few corrections , and as much energy and freshness as possible.

I was born and raised in France, and have swedish decent on my mother’s side.

My artistic education is equally culturally diverse : I studied art in France, the United States and Sweden. On completing my studies, I began working in a very famous design company for three years . I then decided to leave France and lived and worked for two years in Africa ( Congo, Ivory coast, Niger, Cameroon). I found Africa incredibly inspiring and stimulating. It was during my extended stay in Africa that I produced my first travel watercolour sketches, most notably in Niger at the beginning. Since then, I have published numerous painting sketchbooks charting my journeys ( Senegal, Sicily, Tunisia, publisher Asa éditions). Upon my return, I decided to dedicate myself entirely to painting and art teaching.

You can join me for short workshops in Paris, or during longer workshops around my countryside studio in Burgundy, or elsewhere in France or abroad.
