Selected Artwork from the Artist UP.

---

Since my childhood, I have always been drawn to art. I did music, paintings, cartoons, photography, poems, short stories.  One day I realized that I could not do everything, and decided to dedicate myself to an art that would combine everything: Films.

Since 2000, I am a film director, working on TV series and movies in France. My films have been seen by more that 100 millions people worldwide.

But as time went by, I needed to find a way to please my soul in a deeper way. So, in 2019, I started painting again, writing poems, and I had this idea to combine words with strong visuals.

My art was also inspired by a film editing effect: the Kuleshov effect.  It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the  interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in  isolation.

Simply said, the connection you make between two separate images brings you an emotion that is very personal and intimate.

I decided to do this with words, and colors. A new kind of poetry and art.  But being a playful soul, sometimes I can resist to add some fun into it.

My limited signed edition prints are on archival paper, so you can keep them forever.
