II / BEHIND THE WORK
A ruined tower on a distant ridge. Something stirring beneath the roots of an ancient tree. A traveller at the edge of the known world. Every image is a doorway into a story.
Those worlds take shape in digital illustrations, markers and colored pencils on paper, and oil, acrylic, and gouache on canvas. Different surfaces, different tools — the same love of fantasy and storytelling.
III / CORRESPONDENCE
A character, a story, a world waiting to be discovered.
Every adventure begins with a conversation.
