I’m an osteopath and a self-taught illustrator. My path into art hasn’t been academic, but it’s been intentional, passionate, and deeply personal. I draw from what I know: the human body, emotions, transformation. My medical background has shaped how I see movement, structure, and healing — and this often comes through in my illustrations. Over time, I’ve developed a visual language that blends anatomy with imagination, sensitivity with storytelling. Lately, I’ve been exploring animation as a way to give breath and rhythm to my drawings.
