I am a French artist and illustrator based in Le Havre. My work resists any fixed protocol that would stabilize the gesture; instead, I seek out dispositifs that put it into crisis. I am interested in the tension between control and destabilization, in how a simple rule, once activated, can begin to slip, fracture, or exceed itself.

I often rework found images, not to master them, but to expose them to shifts, repetitions, and displacements that unsettle their initial meaning. Accidents are not merely welcomed; they are structural. They interrupt intention and force the work to renegotiate its own conditions.

I am particularly attentive to the moment when an image produces an unexpected emotional spark, a disturbance rather than a confirmation. That spark becomes a lever: a way to test how far the image can move, mutate, or contradict itself.

Across editorial commissions and independent artistic research, I approach each project as a site of instability, a space where images are not stabilized, but stressed, displaced, and transformed.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with a range of artists, studios, and publications including Astra House Publishing, Biceps France, Blazers/Blasons, Bliss Point Records, Bráulio Amado, CAC Passerelle, Chris Harnan, Crack Magazine, Decade New York, Drain Publishing, Elliott Elder, Elizabeth Goodspeed, Éditions Fidèle, Éditions FP&CF, Éditions Matière, Gaspar Capac, Gloria Glitzer, Jacqui VanLiew, Jean-Philippe Bretin, Lagon Revue, Louis Lallier, Louis Prince, Mamiko Motto, Moritz Grünke, Olivier Bral, Oneohtrix Point Never, Samopal Books, Sylvia Tournerie, Temple Magazine, Tractor Beam, Warp Records, Wired Magazine, ...
