About me

I was born in the French Alps and was blessed to travel a lot during my childhood. I developed an early taste for art and quite forgot all about it over the years.

I spent my twenties in London — experience for which I am grateful — and now I’ve settled in Barcelona, where I spend most of my time painting the city or writing.

I have a bachelor in geology, wish to travel again the way I used to with my family, and I’m still getting acquainted with my ADHD.

But what’s most important to know about someone?

I always get out of bed with my right foot first, I hate cats (you never know what they think), and I get way too excited intoxicating myself with caffeine.

I do love oil painting more than life itself, and yet, my dream’s always been to write books. Real paper books. I love books.

About my diary

It’s a journal I’ve been keeping for twenty years now. I decided to share it publicly, because some bright morning of spring, it just made sense, it couldn’t be any other way. I don’t write to help. You must know that. Nor do I think I have any secret guidance that must be shared.

I do what any other human being does: I figure out as I go, and I learn. On my way? I tell stories, I draw, I reflect. I try to be as honest as I can. And I go in the streets with my sketchbook in hand, like a madwoman in search of meaning… And whatever life means, I’ll chase it.

Read the diary

Just so you know

◆ I write in whatever language inspires me in the moment. French, English, Spanish or Catalan. The musicality of the language tells me what to write, depending on how I feel.

◆ All illustrations are mine (photos, drawings, illustrations or paintings) except clearly specified. In that case, you’ll find the full name of the artist and if possible, a direct link to their own website/page.

◆ Although in my wildest dreams, I too can make a living of what I’m passionate about, I decided long ago that this page would remain INDEPENDENT and FREE from any kind of advertising. No Amazon link (I want you to go to a real bookstore and talk to people), no product placement (please do watch The Truman Show if you’re not sure what product placements are*), no ad sidebars (It’s just you and your daily readings) and cookies are only used to help me understand how more readers can find my poetry.

◆ People and places I mention in my stories are all real, but of course, for everybody’s peace of mind, I changed their names.

◆ And last but not least, you should know I believe in God and it’s my greatest joy.

(*Please do watch and re-watch The Truman Show anyway, for your own sake.)

How to support

Shop.

♥ Every time you buy an original art piece or a print, you make all of this matter. I’d still paint, and create, and try to make the world make sense, but thanks to your purchase, I can focus on the next work at hand.
