About Me

I was born in Glasgow in 1992 as the son of two French English students working there as French assistants, they move back to a Parisian suburb where I grew up as the eldest of four brothers.
From an early age, I felt uneasy about both traditional views on female and male roles in society and social conventions.
In 2010, I began studying mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin, where I graduated as a Master of Vehicle Engineering seven years later. When I was 25 and I decided to dedicate his true passion to art. I begun to deal artistically with topics such as sexual identity, gender norms and intimacy. Initially, my artistic expression was limited to sketches, paintings and photography. With my collective we creates big visual and sound installation, where the core of the installation are the cognitive paintings. In the background of our paintings, there are self engineered led screens are equipped with sensors that react to their environment. The engine of each work is the viewer himself, the reproducibility is excluded, the paintings is recomposing itself every time. We are also woking with clubs, actors and performers with our paintings in Berlin a lot in the queer community .
