Artistic Expression

I love playing with textures, materials, and pigments.
I draw and shape forms, sometimes abstract, sometimes figurative, always guided by exploration.

As a child, I remember scraping between the bricks of the school wall. I would collect red dust, a precious bit of color.
I would spot clay fields. I dreamed of the treasures I might bring home: clay for modeling, pretty stones, sediments, or lichens to grind.
I loved experimenting, mixing these finds with flour, glue, sugar, or eggs to create unexpected textures.

As an adult, I had the opportunity to learn about the art of lacquer. This involves an oil-based varnish technique that discovered through the Ateliers de Paris. I also attended various theory-based classes at places like the Carrousel du Louvre and the Beaux-Arts.

Now, on the boat, I’ve reconnected with nature and underwater life.

The diversity and beauty of the species we meet are beyond measure.
Even after years at sea, there are always new discoveries, animal, plant, or mineral, that continue to amaze and inspire.

These encounters feed my senses and find expression in the colors, lines, and materials I use.
I work mainly with inks, watercolor, acrylics, and pigments collected from sediments found along the shore.

Each piece is an alchemy of mixed techniques. It is infused with symbolism. It is a way for me to express the deep connection between humans and nature.

I invite you into my floating studio. It is nestled aboard Karaka. Here, you can catch a glimpse of what’s created with the rhythm of the waves.

The online collection will grow with each new journey, a reflection of a voyage in constant evolution.
