Pop Art, Street ArtMe, Myself and I
Born in Paris in 1979, I am a mass media child. Advertising posters are my wallpaper, TV is my window to the world. I have been raised by the communication flow, saturated with shapes and colors, fantasy and violence, fashions and statistics, insignificances and essences.
In my work, I aim at depicting a post-apocalyptic battle field, both rusty and fairy-like, a place somewhere between a theme park and the Gobi desert. A dreamland in shambles where heartbroken characters are heading for oblivion... but with style, panache and a certain sense of entertainment.
By imagining a futuristic bizarre world, kind of a rickety synthesis of Mad Max and the Wonderland, I deal with current concerns, such as ecology, hyper consumption, spirituality, violence...
Self-taught artist, I have been exhibiting in galleries in the US and France and I currently live and work in Paris.
