What you see on this website grew out of my intense desire to have my father live on in an artistic way.

Although a gifted stonemason, he wasn’t able to realize his full potential as an artist – since his life was fairly chaotic.

And then just when things started to look up for him, fate struck him down, quite out of the blue.

It was then that I first channelled all my grief and anger into sculpture (« Swan song » a Project organised by the Mâcon Town Hall), and then into art classes. I wanted to make sure that he didn’t die in vain, and that the work he started would continue. I didn’t want to replace or imitate him but simply to carry on his work « you can never replace someone, you can simply carry on where they left off »

And then,little by little my own artistic temperament blossomed . And I realized that my father and I were not one and the same artist but two distinct beings. And I developed a personal style, my own style ….. based on working with matter (the source of all life)
