Artist
Designer
After studies in Fine Arts Schools in France, I decided to learn the hot glass technique and to express my artistic ideas through this peculiar material. During my glassbowing studies at the Cerfav (European Center for Reseach and Formation in Glass Arts), I've developed an attraction for object design. Far from being lifeless, utilitarian objects have a soul, a specific aura depending on the materials they are made of, their colors and shape, the way they've been made, the use we are doing with them, how used they are, their history, the value or the signification they have for each of us...
My practice as a glassblower consists of an intimate and playful dialogue with glass, which is a wild and stubborn material that escapes us at the moment we try to control it too much.
