Portraits
Portraits are the same act as murals, only at a different scale.
Both ask for the same kind of attention: to look closely enough that something true can come through. A face has its own geography, the tension in a jaw, the softness around an eye, the way someone carries themselves when they forget they are being watched. That is what I am trying to catch.
I paint walls and people with the same devotion. Each commission becomes a conversation with a space, or with a face, that I try to honor without losing my own hand in the process.
Murals
I paint walls the way other people begin real conversations: by listening first.
From the arched alcoves of a Breton château to the facades of Manila's back streets, every mural starts with the same questions. What does this place already carry? What has lived here? What still needs room to breathe? My role is not to impose a vision, but to help something already present become visible.
A wall is never truly blank. It already holds a history, a neighborhood, and a certain weather of feeling. I try to work with that weight, not against it.
Sur mesure
Murals, portraits, large-scale installations. Every commissioned work begins with a shared vision and a conversation.
