Art is always shaped by place. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, my influences stretch across continents, from the European traditions I grew up with to the expansive landscapes of California that continue to shape my vision today.

In today’s world of contemporary art, abstraction often dominates conversations, but collectors continue to return to figurative expressionism. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I believe this connection comes from the figure’s ability to mirror our own humanity.

Silence is often thought of as absence, but in art, it can be a presence all its own. In my paintings, silence becomes the atmosphere that allows emotion to breathe. As a French artist in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I see silence as essential to my practice in psychological art.

Fashion and art have always been connected. Both are languages of expression, shaped by culture and rooted in identity. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I see fashion not only as design, but as a form of storytelling that mirrors what I explore in my expressionist art.

Hands are storytellers. In many of my works, including the Finding Comfort in You series, hands carry as much emotional weight as faces. They console, protect, or reveal inner turmoil without a word. As a French artist working in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I often exaggerate hands in my expressionist art to emphasize their symbolic power.

We live in a world where images are everywhere. Art circulates online in seconds, reproduced endlessly on screens. Yet the value of original art has never been greater. As a French artist based in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I’ve seen how the physical presence of a painting offers something no digital image can replicate.

In painting, what is not there can be as powerful as what is. Negative space, the quiet, empty areas around or within a figure, offers a silence that is essential to balance, tension, and meaning. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I often use negative space not simply as background, but as an active presence within my work.

Every medium carries its own language. In my work as a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I rely on mixed media art to bring emotional and psychological complexity to the surface. By combining oil, ink, and fragments of newspaper, I create layers that act as both texture and narrative.

Collecting art is one of the most personal journeys a person can take. It’s not just about decorating a space or following market trends, it’s about building a collection that reflects who you are. As a French artist and expressionist artist, I’ve often spoken with collectors about the choices that make certain works continue to resonate for years.

One of the most rewarding experiences for an artist is to see their work recognized in dialogue with others. I’m honored that one of my paintings was recently included in Urban Stories, a curated collection on Singulart.

As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I often return to the contradictions of city life. Cities are vibrant, layered, and filled with diversity, but they can also be anonymous and isolating. My work as an expressionist artist seeks to capture that duality: the energy and beauty of human interaction against the backdrop of alienation.

The Finding Comfort in You series has always explored the refuge we find in one another. With Finding Comfort in You III, I continue this reflection, focusing on how small gestures, even the softest touch, can transform pain into relief. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I am drawn to the ways comfort transcends words, binding us together in moments of silence and compassion.

Travel has always been more than movement for me, it is a way of seeing differently. Each place carries its own rhythm, its own silence, its own contradictions. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I find that travel continually reshapes not only what I see, but how I paint.

Finding Comfort in You II continues my exploration of refuge, intimacy, and compassion through the act of presence. Just as in the first painting of the series, the work reflects the ways we lean on one another to navigate storms of emotion. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I see comfort not as an isolated idea, but as a universal language, one that transcends age, gender, or circumstance.

Every painting begins in the solitude of the studio, but its journey often extends far beyond those walls. Preparing artwork for exhibition is a process that transforms a private act of creation into a public dialogue. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I’ve learned that the way a piece is presented can shape how viewers connect with it.

Collecting art is an emotional journey as much as it is an investment. As a French artist and expressionist artist, I’ve seen firsthand how certain pieces resonate deeply with collectors, not just in the moment, but for decades. While market trends shift, the works that stand the test of time share certain qualities that go beyond style or subject.

The way we discover art has transformed in the last decade. As a French artist and expressionist artist, I’ve seen how online platforms can connect collectors to extraordinary works in contemporary art, emotional art, and psychological art, often from across the globe.

Here are five online platforms worth exploring if you’re looking to discover new voices in mixed media art and beyond.

In recent years, I’ve noticed a renewed interest in the human figure within contemporary art. As a French artist and expressionist artist, my own work has always been rooted in the figure, not in a literal sense, but as a vessel for emotion, memory, and psychological depth.

When people first see my paintings, they often ask why there are fragments of newspaper embedded in the surface. For me, newspaper isn’t about the words. It’s about the texture, the noise, and the feeling it leaves behind. As a French artist and expressionist artist, I see every material as a way to carry meaning - not just through the image itself, but through the surface we encounter first.
