"For more than 18 years, I’ve designed my creations like precious and treasured jewels the future owner will be able to make his own. I love working by collection, to be able to delve into each thematic and explore every possibility. It is also an efficient means to propose a wide range of pieces. 

The contemporaneity is not only in the blueprint but can be figurative and always undertaken.The graphics become originals in my way to compose or to gather different periods or cultures.

I love to connect different cultures and to find the harmony illustrating the common features between civilizations.On the same creation you can find some Indian fabric patterns, some Art Nouveau ironworks, some Arabic carved wood design or some Viking jewelry!There is no frontier any more, which is my ideal vision of the world!

My approach is very focused on symbolism. I take care to choose meaningful texts and specific characters' representations. I’m familiar with oppositions such as contradictions between two periods, two techniques, two symbolism, two interpretations… in complete agreement with a personal duality. Sometimes some words emphasize an idea but calligraphy is usually used as an ornamentation or a graphic design amongst unstructured elements.

Through constant questioning of the illumination form, I consider the traditional technique essential to be different from painting or illustration, which are the successors of this Art. But I want to prove you can challenge some of the codes while being faithful to the philosophy of this Art: precision, repetition of forms, friezes and its meditative aspect."
