About
Born in 1978 in Geneva, I graduated from the Geneva School of Fine Arts since 2003. If I had to define my work in two words, they would be: "Divert and commitment". Almost all of my work works on this principle, whether it is to divert the technique, the materials or the subject, this approach allows me to emphasize my point more strongly. Thus, my work is a cross between diversion and commitment, the first in form, the second in the background. I mainly address topics such as ecology and human rights. The treatment of these themes questions the human sciences, the links of man to politics and the relationship between man and nature. So many topics that I sometimes treat with derision, often with cynicism, always with poetry.
