REVEAL

I am a hunter of forgotten stories.

In the grain of the worn wood, I read stories that no one sees anymore.

Each abandoned board is for me a canvas in the making, each trace of time an invitation to create.

Between Vienna and Paris, I learned that beauty often hides where you don't look for it. My family heritage - a father who composed film music, a mother who was a Viennese entrepreneur - taught me that art is born from the dialogue between cultures, between the past and the future. This quest for transformation, this obsession with revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary, is more than a job - it is my language, my way of silently screaming that nothing is lost, everything is transformed.

The artist at the crossroads of worlds

Intimate conversation with the artist

The Artist's Roots
Q: Where does this unique artistic sensitivity come from?
A: "I vividly remember accompanying my father to recording sessions in an old theatre in the heart of Paris when I was a child. I loved spending time alone in the empty theatre's atmosphere, because for me, the theatre was filled with ghosts and wonderful stories."

Between Two Cultures
Q: How does this French-Austrian dual identity influence your art?
A: "To be completely honest, France is no more home to me than Austria, because home is where I feel good. I grew up between Vienna and Paris and I love both cultures, both histories, which are shaped by art."

 

The Relationship with Creation
Q: What does art mean to you?
A: "Cuisine and wine are the golden line of epicureanism. It's in our genes, and this quest for pleasure is reflected in everything I do. Art, like cooking, is a story, its life intertwines with the perfume of wine, a wonderful cocktail that must be elegant and finely balanced to awaken the senses."

 

The Artist and His Medium
Q: Why did you choose wood as your medium?
A: "Passionate about art, I give a second life to each wooden board destined for oblivion. Under my brushes, this raw material awakens and whispers new stories..."

 

The Creative Process
Q: How do your works come to life?
A: "I don't paint on wood, I dialogue with it. Each board has its history, its scars, its secrets. My work consists of revealing what's already there, transforming these marks of time into visual emotions."

The Artistic Vision

Q: What do you wish to convey through your art?
A: "I seek to create doors that open onto a world of unexpected emotions. The mysteries, surprises, memories that dance in the corner of your eyes... all of this is part of the journey I offer through my works."

 

Environmental Commitment
Q: What is the environmental dimension of your work?
A: "Art doesn't need to deplete the earth to touch souls. By giving new life to these industrial materials destined for waste, I contribute in my own way to a more circular, more poetic economy."

 

Sources of Inspiration
Q: What feeds your creativity on a daily basis?
A: "I draw inspiration from everything around me - cinema, music, gastronomy... My family passed on this love for multiple arts. This diversity of influences can be found in each of my creations."
