Mon Atelier d'Artiste Peintre - A space for creation and exploration

Based in Prâlon, in the Côte-d'Or, my studio is the heart of my artistic activity. It's here that my abstract paintings come to life, where I play with colours, textures and materials to create unique and sensitive works. My work is based on experimentation and the search for balance between instinct and technique.

I paint mainly with acrylics on paper and canvas, exploring the richness of nuance and the gestures of movement. I also incorporate paper collages, an approach that allows me to add depth and rhythm to my compositions. These fragments of paper, sometimes torn, sometimes precisely cut, blend into the paint to create a play of transparency and relief, adding a tactile dimension to my work.

I'm also experimenting with beeswax paint, an ancestral technique known as encaustic. This natural material, applied in successive layers, gives the works a rich, velvety texture, while capturing the light in a unique way. Encaustic produces subtle effects, between opacity and translucence, adding depth to my artistic universe.

My studio is both an intimate space, where I let myself be carried away by the inspiration of the moment, and a place for exchanging and sharing. I love welcoming art lovers and the curious who want to discover my creative process, understand my approach and feel the energy that emanates from my work. For me, abstract painting is a universal language, an invitation to emotion and imagination, where everyone can project their own sensations and interpretations.

Each painting I create is an encounter between the material and the unexpected, a dialogue between gesture and colour, a constantly renewed exploration.

My Revisited Furniture Workshop - A second life for antique furniture

Alongside my work as a painter, I have developed a passion for restoring and truly transforming antique furniture. My workshop for selling revisited furniture was born of this desire to restore character and charm to forgotten pieces by breathing new energy into them.

Here, each piece of furniture has a story to tell. Rather than seeing it disappear, I offer it a rebirth through meticulous and creative renovation work. Each piece is carefully selected and then transformed using different techniques such as painting, patina and whitewash. The aim is to give it a unique style, playing with colours, materials and sometimes even combining it with other elements for a rethought design.

I'm a big believer in upcycling and more responsible consumption. In a world where the furniture industry mass-produces objects that are often standardised, I offer a more sustainable and authentic alternative. My revisited furniture fits in with both classic and contemporary interiors, adding a touch of uniqueness and charm.

As well as renovating furniture, my workshop is also a place where people can meet and pass on their skills. I love sharing my passion for working with materials and advising people who want to give their furniture a new lease of life. Each creation is designed to be part of a personalised decor, where the old meets the new in unique harmony.

In this way, my workshop is much more than just a sales outlet: it's a place where we celebrate the beauty of handmade objects, the richness of our furniture heritage and the possibility of reinventing everyday objects.
