About Me

Born in Montreal, Canada in 1977. Self-taught painter, initiated into drawing at an early age, he very rapidly develops his interest and especially his aptitude for graphic arts.During high school, he participates in several exhibits (1993-1995), during which he presents, among others, pencil, oil and ink works, his favourite mediums of the time. Later on, he specializes in graphic design.Only after finishing his studies (1996) does he start painting more conscientiously, working especially with oil paint and pencil. Since then, he has participated in many group and solo exhibits.In 2005, The need to create more spontaneously becomes overbearing. So much to say, so little time. From there emerges more spontaneous and energetic paintings and a desire to explore medias and mediums.In addition to his numerous solo and group exhibits, his services are sought for the realization of advertising projects in the field of performing arts and he participates in musical comedy and movie projects.Recipient of many prizes and awards, the â€..Vermeil” medal during the â€..Salon dâ€,,Automne International des Beaux Arts de Montréal” in 2001.Many of his works can be found in private and corporative collections in Canada, United-States and Europe.
