Biography
It all could have started with an art school, but no!
My journey began with studies in financial markets, in London and Ningbo, followed by a career in international trade and digital marketing in Hong Kong and Paris.
​
One day, a family coincidence led me to the Parisian studio of the sculptor Magali Nourissat. This hands-on abstraction immediately ignited a true passion in me. I love the endless possibilities of working with clay to capture the most genuine emotion and cast it in bronze.
​
It's in the tales and fables, carriers of moral education, that I find my main inspiration. Their imaginative power and emotional influence have therapeutic virtues to navigate through the ages and existential doubts. I see them as a form of return to the earliest visual narratives.
​
In my work, I enjoy playing on a fine line at the border of two worlds, that of Man and the animal, to reveal both the beastly side of Man and the human side of the animal.
