Geometry, mathematics, the abstract but also languages, communication, the human being, these were always what I was interested in.

 

After fifteen years of professional life in France in the industry, an unexpected expatriation in Istanbul changed my life.

 

In a cultural, artistic and international city, it was the right time to admire, discuss, exchange, learn; the opportunity to understand what I really liked and to turn into arts.

 

Self-taught, I started with various techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpture, etching and mosaic.

 

Finally and naturally, it is sculpture that fascinates me the most.

 

Sculpture gives me the opportunity to explore different materials to achieve a minimalist and pure work of art from which strength, energy, beauty and emotion can spring.
