VIBRATE KNOW-HOW
I like to sublimate unexpected wastes such as tartrate from champagne vats.
Hypersensitive, the artist is fascinated by the beauty of living things. In the 2000s, the impact of man on nature forced him to reflect on the notion of waste, which does not exist in nature, where everything is a resource. To make the most of these waste materials, particularly plastic, he decided to treat them like diamonds in the rough, transforming them into flowers.

HIS JOB
“Plastic artist, more precisely ennobler of neglected materials. I work exclusively on commission for luxury companies and houses, art galleries, institutions and fon- dations, entities that share common values. I act as their interpreter to convey their messages, telling a poetic story through a work born of the metamorphosis of waste or neglected materials.”
HIS SIGNATURE
“A fantastic parable. My signature has focused on the materials responsible for plastic pollution, with a view to changing the way we look at things, at others and at living things. I challenge myself to transform a cigarette butt into a mimosa or marquetry, to move, to surprise with the magic of a singular vision.”
ITS TOOLS
“For the idea, my sensitivity. For the execution, my hands are the major instruments, assisted by tools diverted from the crafts: irons, parker’s tongs, jewelers’ precision instruments. The list is long and constantly changing.
ITS MATERIALS
“Any material or product considered as waste! No restrictions. I love challenges. I integrate abandoned plastics, bags, packaging, bottles, fishing nets… into my process. “
