I was born in Nice in 1989, immersed in creativity. Artistic practices

were not taught so much as inherited, passed quietly through generations. 

Shaped by French, Dutch and Togolese heritage — and later by years spent

in South Africa — I have always existed between cultures, between worlds.

That in-between space is where my work lives.

I trained at École d'Art Villa Thiole in Nice, followed by fashion design at

Atelier Chardon Savard in Paris, and interior design at MGM Design.

​​​

In my practise, I plan. But when my hand touches the paper, I let go,

and I watch what comes. My palette is instinctive, naive and simple.

I work primarily on paper, in ballpoint pen, watercolour, pastel, acrylic and ink,

guided above all by immediacy.

For me, painting is a form of translation — a way of turning emotions and lived experience into something visible. There is a deliberate naivety in my work,

not as a lack, but as a return — to innocence, to raw emotions, to what is true before thought gets in the way.

I won't tell you what to see

That part is yours
