Every painting begins with a sound. Sometimes it’s the low, steady tempo of ambient music. Other times it’s something raw and unpredictable, a live performance, a film score, or even the rhythm of a passing train. That sound shapes the emotional landscape of my work.

The size of a painting can transform the way it is experienced. As a French artist in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I’ve learned that scale is not just a technical decision, it is an emotional one. In expressionist art, scale magnifies or softens intensity, shifting how a viewer relates to a work.

Life is rarely linear. It is layered with memory, contradiction, and shifting experiences. This is why I am drawn to mixed media art. As a French artist working in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I see mixed media as the best mirror of modern life, fragmented, overlapping, and richly complex.

Distortion has always been a hallmark of expressionist art. Instead of representing reality as it appears, artists bend and reshape figures to reveal deeper truths. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, distortion is central to my practice, it allows me to show not just how people look, but how they feel.

Collectors are drawn to expressionist art because it is direct. Distorted figures, exaggerated gestures, and bold color choices reveal truths about human experience that realism often hides. This honesty is what makes expressionism a cornerstone of emotional art.

Art does not exist in isolation. The placement of a painting next to another changes its meaning. In the hands of a skilled curator, works interact, creating dialogues about identity, intimacy, or cultural themes. This curatorial approach transforms exhibitions into living conversations.

The Finding Comfort in You series is one of the most personal bodies of work I have created. As a French artist working in both Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I wanted to explore not the grand gestures of connection, but the small, intimate ones that often hold the greatest weight.

Color is never neutral. It shapes mood, directs attention, and conveys emotions often before form or gesture is noticed. As a French artist in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, I rely on color contrast to create drama that is both subtle and powerful.

One of the unexpected journeys of my work has been its life on screen. As a French artist based in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, my paintings have appeared in television shows, films, and commercials through my long-standing partnership with a Los Angeles gallery specializing in set design rentals.

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.
