Tell us about your background?
Age : 29
born in Nimes, in the south of France.
nothing particular about art in my family.
I studied law and marketing and understood that I want to draw more than I want to be a lawyer.

So I’m absolutely self-taught (and if I draw since my childhood, like anyone, i do it very seriously for only few years)



My style? I need to give a story to each of my characters. I always try to give a feeling with my work. My dream is to move the viewer with a look at some drawing eyes. I try to do that with some various styles, from fashion to comics. Various styles but always trying to be fair and accurate.
I push the atmosphere upon the action (wich IS important) . When I tell a story (see my comics pages in BD section of my site) I like to take my time.
In fashion I love the details because they are part of the story, clothes are telling lots of things.
All my illustrations are CG illustrations..

My creation processes are a lot depending of the work I am on.
In fashion for exemple, I Take pictures of the clothes and then I imagine the girl, the position, the atmosphere of all the pages. And of course I do that with the people I’m working for.

Thanks Thomas Cadène for having taken his time to make this interview with us
