Born in 1989, I am a graphic designer, digital illustrator and painter based in Lausanne, Switzerland (French part). With a paper from an Art & Communication school (ERACOM), I worked in a radio, then for a well-known sales platform in Switzerland, and then I worked for 9 years in a communication agency. On my free time, I paint or make digital art, mainly illustrating my favorite artists.
I also started creating short animations, by animating some of my artworks and making GIF stickers. This is a new world that I like to explore as well.
Since the age of 4, as far as I can remember, I have been into music thanks to my dad who is passionate about Hard Rock music. Bon Jovi is the band that stole my heart, but I also fell for bands such as Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Steel Panther, Metallica… yes, all those big hair bands, actually! But I also enjoy rap music, blues, jazz, pop, synthwave. And more recently, Marilyn Manson is the one who became my muse. He really opened a door for me as my creativity has really increased since then.
I have an obsession with the 80s/90s. I love travelling to see concerts and immerse myself into music, but I am also a quiet person. Actually, I have an ambivalent personality. I like things and their opposite. I can be introverted but I can find myself dancing on stage in front of thousands of people. I can be listening to Rammstein and then switch to Harry Styles. I enjoy being on my own a lot, with music in my ears, drawing late at night. This is typically a perfect moment for me. This is me being in another world where Art takes up all the space and I feel untouchable. Only my cat Jiby can distract me, he’s my universe.
