With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer.) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing.

In a few words: this genealogical tree presents the blended scottish origins of the bearer: half traditional clansman, half industrial commoner. On the left side, a smoky iindustrial town matches very well with the pseudo tartans, as the perfect setting for the paternal line. To match this: one can see a traditional scottish landscape with a Loch and a castle below the real tartans, which is the natural setting of Scottish nobility. modern commercial creations in the tartan style. As you can see, the person is fully scottish in its origins, but the connaisseurs would recognise genuine clan tartans on the mother's side (on the right side of the tree), whereas the father's side presents mere commercial tartans, i.e. Here though, it is used to describe a person's social situation. The title Blended Scotch refers primarily to a well known scottish commodity: whisky. The art piece represents a genealogical tree on four generations, over a scottish landscape. I had always wanted to create a genealogy with tartans, that would look like a beautiful patchwork. Blended Scotch is my very first creation of the "fabric series".
