What is your favorite type of art to create?

I’m deeply influenced by the Impressionist era. Through imperfect forms and layered composition, I create depth that reveals itself over time. Beneath the surface, details unfold like a collage, with hidden forms emerging as you look closer. My work invites reflection and creates a personal dialogue—offering space to see from another perspective without judgment.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from everyday life—sunlight on a leaf, a passing interaction, a dream, or something easily overlooked like a crack in the road. I’m drawn to both the obvious and the subtle. These fleeting moments, which quietly shape the rhythm of a day, often become the starting point for my work.

What would you do with $25,000?

This funding would allow me to build a dedicated studio space. Classically trained at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse, I work across painting, drawing, sculpture, and silversmithing. While I’ve adapted to digital tools, I lack space and equipment to fully produce my work. A studio and professional printer would be a turning point, allowing me to bridge traditional and digital practices.
