I am a painter, muralist, my inspiration is around the individual. Between the imaginary and the social.
For me, the individual is the true reality of life in my opinion, a universe in itself. I work around
the depth of the individual between constraint and emancipation.
Toni Morrisson said that “focusing on the characters and their interiors is like putting the power in the hands of the person rather

And to love them without approving them, but to love them in order to do them justice” It is in this idea that my characters are
It is in this idea that my characters are their own entity, each individual is a unique, wonderful and original universe.
I have a varied career crossed by different paths with painting as a common thread since
my childhood.

In my drawings, I make the character come out of the group and thus bring out its individuality.

My reality, your reality, is not necessarily that of society, it is your own.
It can come out of a social construction. Since the state is managed by a minority whose vocation is to
