I have always wanted to become a painter, and, inspired by the ancient tradition of the Grand Tour, I undertook a journey across Europe to learn how to truly look and to shape my eye in the craft of painting.

 

Born and raised in Paris, and coming from a large French and Italian artistic family, I was immersed in painting and the arts from a very young age, making it my passion early on. At the age of fifteen, I attended life-drawing classes at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris after school, before leaving France to pursue a BA in Fine Arts at the University of Edinburgh in 2018.

​

It was in the UK—between Wiltshire, London, and Edinburgh—that I developed a growing interest in painting as an artisanal practice which I initially approached as an artistic and experimental process centered on the representation of the human figure. Little did I know that this life experience in the UK would profoundly change my vision and my approach to painting.

​

Since then, I eagerly seized every opportunity to meet artists in their studios. Painting became for me both a craft and a form of labor: sharpening my skills, caring for my tools, and working on commissions and subjects in the service of my clients. I was slowly making a true profession out of my long-time passion.

​

After Paris, Edinburgh, and London, I moved to Rome, embarking on a new journey. There, on a farm near the Eternal City, I studied with a master painter who introduced me to the secrets of classical painting inspired by the Old Masters such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Titian.

​

I then returned to Paris, where I now paint actively and undertake regular commissions, making a living from what has always been my passion and is now my everyday work.
