About
Originally from Toulouse, my inspiration is rooted in traditional Asian prints. I practice tape drawing, a personal technique in which adhesive tape becomes an active brush—capturing ink from the paper through a process similar to stamping for a refined and energetic rendering.
I create children’s picture books and stories, and I also bring my work to the public through live drawing performances, street art sessions, and storytelling programs, supported by grants, nominations, and residencies focused on illustration and narrative projects.
