What draws me to art is when it ventures into the margins: those zones of transgression and excess. I believe my work generally emerges from this space of tension and discomfort. The body is central, omnipresent. A body in crisis: wounded, contorted, dislocated, constrained, hybrid, hidden, monstrous, sick, diabolical, erased, abject, sexualised… 

My references are rooted in 20th-century literature and philosophy: Antonin Artaud, Georges Bataille, Pierre Guyotat, Julia Kristeva, and many others. While studying at the Royal College of Art (London), I explored the notions of excess and saturation, focusing on artistic forms that fully embody the ideas of expenditure, gift, and sovereignty — as notably theorized by Bataille — and that themselves incarnate forms of resistance within a global neoliberal context.

More recently, as part of an international collaboration between artists and researchers, I’ve been exploring the theme of dehumanization, through the lens of philosopher David Livingstone Smith. This theme speaks directly to the roots of mass violence, in connection today with issues of migration and natural disasters.

Painting holds a central place in my artistic practice, alongside drawing and sound. I work from live models, studio photography, found or imagined imagery, assembling scenes where the human figure lies at the heart of the narrative.

I was born in Ivry-sur-Seine (France) in 1993 and received my MA in 2023 from the Royal College of Art. I have exhibited in France, London, and more recently in two art fairs in South Korea.
