About

I was born in France, in quiet villages surrounded by history and tradition. But even as a child, my heart pulled me toward wilder places. That call of the untamed grew stronger each year, until it led me far from Europe and deep into the North — to Alaska, to the Rockies, to places where winter is long and silence reigns.

Before dedicating myself fully to painting, I earned a Master’s degree in wildlife biology and worked in the field across several countries. I first worked as a backcountry ranger in New Zealand, then later in Canada I learned tracking grizzly Bears through radio telemetry and monitored wolves through camera surveys and the reading of tracks. I also worked as a dog musher in Alberta, BC and Alaska, spending long periods living and traveling in remote wilderness.

I later earned my pilot’s license - an experience that continues to shape how I understand terrain, weather, perspective and the pull toward absolute freedom and untouched places.

My paintings are not imagined from a distance. They are encounters. I have stood in the stillness of snow forests, listened to wolves howl beneath the stars, and flown over peaks where ravens rise on the wind. These moments are woven into my brushstrokes.

Wolves sit at the center of my work. I return to them not as a subject to exhaust, but as a presence that continues to reveal itself over time. They are shaped by territory, hierarchy, and survival — by forces that exist independently of human intention. Bears, ravens, moose, and eagles carry this same undomesticated quality, and belong to the same world.

When I paint these beings, I’m not illustrating wildlife. I’m translating a presence — something older than trend, culture, or decoration — into form. That is why the work feels timeless rather than contemporary.

Though I am largely self-taught, I spent years studying the classical techniques of Grand Central Atelier and the Florence Academy of Art through various mentors. I also learned with masters such as Huihan Liu and Zhaoming Wu among others over the last decade attending weekly workshops. That foundation gave me the tools to capture not only the anatomy of an animal, but also the emotion, mystery, and atmosphere of the wild.
