Biography
I spent my early years in Rambervillers, a small town in Les Vosges (France)
In 1984, after a two years sabbatical devoted to study many forms of visual art at Ecole de l’Image
in the nearby town of Epinal, I started to exhibit oils, acrylics, and etchings. After getting master’s
degrees in French as a Foreign Language and Philosophy, I came to the USA - by way of Cambodia
between 1992 and 1994, to teach in a private school near Boston. It is when I decided to specialize
in linocuts and woodcuts, mainly by lack of proper studio space.
Photography, which I had always used as a visual travel log, became the base of my work.
I am represented in private and public collections in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Ecuador,
England, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and the USA.
Biographie
J'ai passé mon enfance à Rambervillers, une petite ville dans les Vosges (France)
En 1984, après un congé sabbatique de deux ans pour suivre des cours d’art à l’Ecole de l’Image
d’Epinal, la ville voisine, j’ai commencé à exposer des huiles, des acryliques et des eaux-fortes.
Après avoir obtenu une maîtrise de FLE et un DEA de philosophie, je suis allé aux Etats-Unis,
par voie du Cambodge entre 1992 et 1994, pour enseigner dans une école privée près de Boston.
Je me suis alors spécialisé dans la gravure sur bois ou linoleum, principalement par manque de
place là où j’habitais à l’époque.
La photographie, que j’ai toujours utilisée comme carnet de note visuel, est devenue la base de
mon travail.
Je suis représenté dans des collections publiques et privées en Belgique, au Brésil, au Canada,
au Danemark, en Equateur, en Angleterre, en France, en Italie, au Japon, en Norvège, en Suéde
et aux USA.
