About me

I'm a French-Swiss artist living in Bern, Switzerland. My encounter with a small box of watercolours in 2018 marks the beginning of my journey as an illustrator. I have been drawing passionately since then, alongside my work as an architect and cellist. I particularly enjoy painting colourful, detailed backgrounds, in order to create scenes that blend everyday life with fantasy.

Diluting colours, feeling the texture of the paper and adapting to the unpredictable reaction of the paint are for me essential elements of the creative process, which is why I only draw traditionally. I mainly use fineliner and watercolour, although I regularly experiment with other techniques. I also enjoy working with paper to create unique crafts, such as textured cards or miniature books.
