Born in 1984 in Antibes, France.

Grain, Dust and Scratches
A few years ago I decided to start a photography journey. The idea was to go out of the studio and find new inspirations.
I immediatly fell in love with analog film photography. The imperfections that give all its charm to this technique are the aesthetic roots of this new series of work.

Minimalism
To me, minimalism in its general sense started in Japan with the Zen bouddhism tradition.
In the west, it takes its roots in the Bauhaus movement, with the famous quote by Mies Van der Rohe : "Less is more".
Artists such as Kasimir Malevich and Ad Reinhardt, although not defined as minimalists, seem to be among the founders of this movement as a visual art.
Nowadays, Minimalism has spread to every art disciplines (Architecture, Design, Music, Fashion...etc), but it also has become true philosophy and lifestyle.

Traces
This theme has been present in my work since my first exhibition in 2008 called "Les effets du temps" ( The traces of time ).
As a child, I was fascinated by fossils. I had a large collection of them, and I spent many hours searching for those Traces of past lives, printed in the rock forever.
