Biography: 

As a resident of Guadeloupe since 2000, the Caribbean has permeated, altered, revealed, and enlightened his world view. He has recently discovered sculpture which “translates and condenses his creative needs, desires, and torments”. He is the founder of Collactif, an open, informal collective that has been sticking ephemeral art on walls across Guadeloupe since 2006.

His motto: “Art is for and by everyone possible, foreseeable, enviable and beneficial”.
