I come from Colombes, a city near Paris and I grow up between there and the Pays-Basque, in the southwest of France.

magic, cosmic, economic
Your weakness? Your strength?
I need people.
What makes you different?
I have eleven toes.
When did you decide to become an artist?
Rather late, I always had an inquiring mind but it took me a while to dare to make it my job.
What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?
The creative process is all about surviving and solve problems.

In the future I believe slowness will be revered.
What would you do if you could change the World?
Playtime everyday for everyone.

In a bubble, in a bottle of Champagne, probably.

The 1977’s song « A letter from home » from « Blue » Gene Tyranny, without a doubt the most beautiful song and poem I ever heard.
