I like to draw ghostly tales and trees, and objects that combine the present and the absent.
I also enjoy writing stories and putting into metaphores psychanalytical concepts.
After attenting Saint Jean Hulst High School, in Versailles, I spent three years, in “prépa littéraire” in France, at the Blaise Pascal School, in Clermont Ferrand. It’s a curiculum where one studies Humanities. I major in French Literature there.
During the summer 2012, and for a month, I attended the drawing course of the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK, ”Human Anatomy in Drawings”.
In 2014, I came back to Paris, to study Illustration, various form of Comic strips (press, books, digital, advertising...) and Story writing, at the CESAN, the Educational Center of the Narrative Arts.
I now live near Paris and work as a freelance illustrator, while working on my short graphic novels. I also do artistic direction for the posters of the plays performed by La Compagnie des Ours de Laines. And I journal with the form of drawings, for myself, but also to cover diverse formal events.
I also take part in a collective of graphic novelists, Les Phasmes, who publishes, once a year, a collection of short stories.

The Second Issue of our Zine, Les Phasmes. This time, it was all about music. Each short stories went with a piece of audio track to listen to. Since my Story is about nostalgia and how the music always reminds us of a precise moment in our life and the people we’ve shared it with, I just recorded an old music box of mine I adored as a child.
