Bio

Born in Brussels in 1966, my perspective was first shaped by the duality of two contrasting horizons: the telluric, mineral power of the Swiss Valais, set against the wooded softness of the Brussels outskirts. From this childhood spent between rock and sap emerged a compelling need to translate the world—to transmute raw emotion into image and matter.

My journey began with the mastery of light. From the IATA in Namur to the halls of INSAS, I learned the grammar of the frame and the discipline of the eye. For years, behind the lens of a documentary camera, I practiced the art of the « affût »—the patient watch. Capturing the moment, composing with the vagaries of light, and inhabiting the space of the shot: this school of patient observation continues to nourish the genesis of my visual works today.

For a long time, my life was a geographical and emotional oscillation. Between the effervescence of film sets in Brussels and the contemplation of my studio in La Palma, I made this Canary Island my laboratory of solitude. It was there, between the ocean and the volcano, that a slow metamorphosis toward « l’épure »—the essential—took place.

Since 2016, after exploring graphic design and digital creation, I have moved away from the movement of images in favor of the vibration of the line. My current work, almost calligraphic in nature, seeks a suspended balance where form no longer limits, but becomes the breath itself. I call my creations « hypnographs. »

Upon the pristine white of the medium, I surrender to a compass-less wandering—a drift where the desire for a result fades before the purity of the gesture. What emerges are interlacings of « near-chance, » archipelagos of signs oscillating between ideograms and figurative reminiscence. It is a territory of dreams and enigmas where reality, with quiet modesty, chooses to slip away.
