Painter, plastic artist and designer, he paints, photographs and films hope, joie de vivre, love, pleasure, sharing, presence, tears, pride, silence, emotions, time,  the future … In his recent work, he takes a look at our identities and their hidden faces. He uses glass and plexiglass to sublimate his subjects with brilliance and reflections, while emphasizing human fragility. The pictograms, present in his works, represent our urban environment which shapes and punctuates our life.
