Modernist. Poetic. Light

“My work is shaped by two inherited worlds: the precision of industrial design and the poetry of light. One of my grandfathers contributed to the design of the iconic Citroën DS; the other was an electrician in the coal mines, bringing light into some of the darkest places on earth.

The modernist architecture of my childhood continues to inform my forms. In Firminy, France, I grew up surrounded by the raw concrete buildings of Le Corbusier — a landscape that inspired both fascination and resistance. During summers in Provence, I discovered the rounded, utopian language of the bubble houses of the 1960s and 70s.

I intuitively design each sculpture as a miniature home I would wish to live in.

The South of France remains central to my creative imagination: its ceramic traditions, its douceur de vivre, its colours and its history of artists who were drawn there to dream and create — from Miró and Cocteau to Picasso.

Through the fusion of architecture and sculpture, I create a palette of graphic shapes that float between the figurative and the abstract, between reality and dream.”

Each luminescent sculpture and mural begins with preliminary sketches before being modelled by hand in smooth stoneware.
