About me
Nice to meet you !
I am a French artist born in 1993. I seek to explore the theme of the post-digital, this strange state where our identities, feelings, and personal mythologies are reconstructed through the screen.
I am trying to build a reputation in the art world by creating my own unique artistic universe with a visually appealing and recognizable style, constantly refined in line with the evolution of digital technologies and my own artistic development.
I create characters that seem to come from elsewhere, yet always carry within them a part of ourselves. They emerge in an intermediate space, neither entirely real nor entirely imaginary, where emotions take the form of vibrant colors, minimalist silhouettes, and almost sacred symbols.
These characters seem so different from us: they sigh in their wondrous worlds of screaming landscapes, and yet, through their adventures and misadventures, they seem so close to us… They even manage to make us question our own emotions, behaviors, and feelings. They delve into our unconscious, our childhood, and our dreams. They make us philosophize about our existence and its end.
Color is my breath. Acid greens, electric pinks, saturated purples, and solar yellows embody the secret realms of our inner states, emotions we dare not express with words.
Through my works, I seek to create a visual refuge, a world where the viewer can project their own narrative. They navigate their own storms, healing, awakenings, luminous sorrows, and invite the viewer to make peace with their own.
My artistic Style
My style evokes the warmth of vintage anime and the vibrancy of antique print textures, while simultaneously expressing the anxieties and beauty of our hyper-connected age. In my work, technology and myth merge, forming a surrealist ode to humanity's search for meaning in the age of the synthetic. This is why my art evokes the analog warmth of a bygone era while resolutely projecting them into a post-digital future.
My post-digital art refers to the sensibility that emerges after the digital revolution, a moment when digital technology is no longer perceived as something new, but as a natural condition of our existence. It is no longer a spectacular tool, but a natural extension of our sensitivity, our thought, and our creativity.
It explores the coexistence between the virtual and physical worlds, between humans and machines, between the tangible and the pixel. It blends traditional mediums, such as drawing and painting, with contemporary technologies like artificial intelligence. I integrate digital technology in a fluid, critical, hybrid, and poetic way, seeking a return to emotion.
My aesthetic thrives on contradictions: it is simultaneously spiritual and synthetic, ancient and futuristic, melancholic and luminous. The result is a hypnotic visual language that resonates with our collective yearning for transcendence in a world saturated with noise. My art lies at the crossroads of dream and revelation, a visual dialogue between solitude, awakening, and identity. My vibrantly colored works blend mystical symbolism and emotional serenity in scenes that are both deeply personal and universally transcendent.
My artistic identity
My artworks share a strong and unique artistic identity, representing a universe centered on characters, and more specifically, the character's identity, what they represent, the energy they emanate, and the mythology surrounding them. Each character seems frozen in a sacred moment: a gesture, a posture, a raised sword, a creature at their side, or an inner light that opens like a star. The heroes are often accompanied by symbolic animals: wolves, dragons, bears, feline spirits, hybrid creatures. Each pairing expresses an essential link between the inner human and mythical nature.
My works focus on constructing a universe, and the themes I explore constantly immerse my art in a world of myth, fantasy, and cosmic symbolism.My work is never purely visual. It always becomes a story, a world, a ritual, and I consider each piece a portal to the inner world of a being.
My artworks emphasize emotional symbolism. I evoke and inspire emotions such as melancholy, wonder, innocence, mystery, spiritual awakening, and inner strength through a coherent narrative tone. This tone is poetic and clear, luminous and dark, magical and moving, symbolic and grounded in reality, mysterious and peaceful.
I believe that each color tells a secret. Green speaks of rebirth, pink of vulnerability, purple of dreams, yellow of pure presence. My works do not seek to imitate reality, but to reveal what reality makes us feel. I create to remind us that even in the deepest solitude, an entire world continues to vibrate. These works invite the viewer into a world where imagination heals, where gentleness is a strength, and where each figure tells a story of an emotion that words cannot capture.
An emotional world
Through my style, I have painted the language of inner transformation. Each work is like a moment of clarity within chaos: a solitary figure beneath a blazing sky, a horned oracle with a third eye, a dreamy young sorcerer beside a dragon of light.
These beings are manifestations of emotions suspended between the earthly and the infinite. The result is characters who evolve in worlds too alive to be real, yet too intimate to be fictional. The recurring eyes, stars, and celestial forms symbolize a consciousness that transcends the self. The landscapes, both radiant and unsettling, represent the infinite territory of the mind.
My works oscillate between serenity and tension, between surrender and resistance, so that you may perceive both the immensity of the universe and the vulnerability of the human being within you. Ultimately, for me, art aims to awaken consciousness, to explore what it means to see, feel, and exist at the very edge of perception, where myth, memory, and color merge into a radiant vision.
