~ Art Influence ~

I was born in France and lived in the French West Indies for a while, before coming to the United States.

My biggest influences are myths and folklore. That's what always fascinates me, ever since I was old enough to check out library books. They inspire me to not just look at things from one angle and to ask questions. Another thing that fascinates me was old paintings and comic books. But the artworks that always appeal the most are the ones that give a feeling of motion, or are extremely rich in color. And motion, and the ability to give the impression something is moving is at the core of my artistic research, you might say. I think there are a lot of beautiful images out there, but being able to capture motion realistically is really amazing to me. So these are my personal influences in the works I do and aspire to be doing in the future.
