Work

Night runaway, my first 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 is my self-portrait and at the same time a depiction of a restless mind, revealed through this piercing gaze.

Terrain vague, my second series in progress, features two young adults under the Parisian ring-road. They are together but seem absent from each other, surrounded by a tagged concrete setting. They seem to wait for a bright future that never comes.

Clementine is inspired by a scene of the cult movie “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”

Out of the blue: when cinema keeps feeding my art, through the grace and intensity of characters like Adèle and Emma (“La Vie d’Adèle”)
