Who am I ?

​

 

Trained at the École Estienne and then at the École Boulle in the heart of Paris, I was then lucky enough to be able to make my mark in various engraving workshops in France and throughout Europe.

​

 

My conception of engraving and the arts and crafts is reflexive, traditional and also oriented towards innovation, exchange and multidisciplinary sharing. It tries to be part of a sustainable development practice with a close relationship between the mind and the hand with the necessity to make these objects telling a story. Once engraved, they become more than objects, but a kind of phylactery, a talisman, an alcove of poetry for their holders.
