""Traveling illustrator": these are the two words I would choose for a very succinct presentation. Through my illustrations, I transform my travels, my walks and my thoughts into visual narratives where landscapes, architectures and dream worlds intertwine. Some scenes come from places I have set foot in, and bear under my signature the GPS coordinates of the exact location. Others blend memories and imagination, and some are entirely invented. My style, at the crossroads of storytelling and imagination, invites you to travel and relax through a gentle and colorful immersion. I think of my illustrations as scenes to explore, in which you can take the time to linger on the details: many memories and winks are hidden there. Cats and birds are recurring figures, and people look for them. Some elements deliberately extend beyond the frame, a way of highlighting the scene and enhancing immersion.

I invite them into my memories, and sometimes they plunge back into their own. Everything is hand-drawn, without any AI. The prints are produced in Fr
