Work

Oil painting - figurative

  • Night runaway (series of 6 portraits): depicts people who live at night, confronted with their solitude, their mind yearning to break free from the grip of routine.

  • Bang bang: self-portrait.

  • Terrain vague (dyptich): two young adults hanging together in two different sceneries (Parisian ring-road, American suburb).

  • Cinegraphies (series of 2):“Clementine” inspired by a scene of the cult movie “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” and “Out of the blue” depicts the grace and intensity of Adèle and Emma in “La Vie d’Adèle”.

  • The Unknown: depicts a road fading into the fog.

  • Promises of a summer: a fleeting scene in the Parisian subway
