" I grew up in Nice, south of France, and have always been a skateboarder. Less assiduous in class than in sessions with "the grown-ups" in Macena Square, art imposed itself on me as a logical, instinctive and inevitable continuation! Without diplomas, but with a solid cultural background thanks to the many trips with the brands that supported me at the time, it is in Biarritz that my artistic streak will finally take over ... or not! I consider the world of skateboarding and my practice as an art in its own right.

For ten years now, I've been working on a hyper-colorful style that's all my own, “skatable” architectures, naive iconographies… The whole thing could give a sort of Sagrada Skate Plaza, a hybrid style between skateboarding and brushes. My black line as well as my flat colors allowed me very early on to assert my style, which allows me to string together radically different but still recognizable periods. I mainly work on canvas, skateboards or walls, but I also had the opportunity to work for Cliché Skateboards for example, or for the famous tennis brand Bensimon. A transversality that I take on in the service of an obsessive utopia: the art of skateboarding! "
