SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Since 15 years and with the arrival of the digital, he went from photography to artistic creation using his own photographs. He met with people from the artistic field who became friends: Valérie Perrier-Sarrazin, art teacher and critic; Micheline Leberre, graduate of the Beaux-Arts of Paris, drawer and artist-painter and Edith Poinsot-Lardy, artist’s agent. They encouraged him to exhibit his work. He followed their advice and exhibited his creations at the Oberkampf gallery in 2013. The positive feedbacks of the visitors reinforced his choice to continue in that direction. At the end of 2016, he invented the “Carrocatures”, which propose a digital and modern version of caricature. After several exhibitions and the feedbacks of visitors, he is convinced of the originality of his work and is trying to make it known abroad and in particular in Italy, his home country.
