My artistic inspiration is above all the fruit of the intimate relationship that I cultivate with nature. Since my childhood, I have always been surrounded by gardens, flowers, colours, that’s where I feel in my element. I marvel at the plants, which are able to adapt and spread life around themselves.

I observe and get my inspiration from a lichen on a stone in my garden, a photo of the edge of the world or a travel memory…

Through my work, I try to make people think about the delicateness, elegance, and fragility of nature, even in its most common and universal representations… to rethink the relationship we have with the plants and greenery which surround us, and which we are so desperately trying to reconnect with.

With my art, more than simply trying to create accurate reproductions of plant life, I try above all else to reproduce an atmosphere, to create illusion, sensation, and emotion.

First, the driftwood : worn, shaped, and smoothened by the elements. I choose it for what it evokes within me, and then I build upon its natural topography. Ì let myself be guided by its ridges and valleys, its natural relief.

Then, after that, the living parts. Blade of glass by blade of glass, I allow vegetation to reclaim its rights over the form, slowly but inexorably : grass, flowers, moss, lichen, and fungi… until basically the whole surface is covered with a fragile, lush layer of greenery, bright and organic, inviting the observer to lay down and dream.
