Definition from Wikipedia: Upcycling is the action of recovering materials or products that are no longer used in order to transform them into materials or products of higher quality or utility. It involves recycling "upwards".

Pieces of paper and magazines collected from everywhere, boxes reclaimed and reworked, cans compressed, scissors, markers, acrylic paint, and varnish, as well as many other elements, make up and bring to life my universe...

It's time for another year of creation! I have new brushes, new markers, new colors, new materials... Now it's time to get to work! I'll show you all of this once I've made progress!

<span style="font-weight:bold;">Okay friends, as you know, Christmas is coming soon!</span> I'm going to switch to "cool" mode and enjoy time with my children, friends, and family, and think about new projects for 2017.

"LIVE" is a brand new painting (not even online on my website yet) with dimensions of 160x120 cm.

December and its bright garlands... December and its gifts... And yes, you know it, Christmas is coming soon!

My friend Fabrice Bonnot is exhibiting my work (15 paintings) in his gourmet restaurant "Cuisine et dépendances", located at 28 rue de la Charité, 69002 Lyon. After 10 years of friendship, it is always a great pleasure to hang my canvases in this...

Following the previous post, here are a few pictures of the rest of the exhibition that we visited with my daughter Capucine... It was really great, we really enjoyed it!

Last Thursday, Capucine, my 14-year-old daughter, finished school at 12 p.m. Hop, heading to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon after a lunch break.

"DO NOT LAY FLAT" is a collage with dimensions of 120x40 cm available on my website and at the "Carré d'Artistes" gallery in Marseille, where it is currently being exhibited.

This week, 4 paintings have left the studio, heading to Marseille! I invite you to discover them at 27 Cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves, right next to the old port.

A selection of vintage-inspired paintings that you can find in one of my 3 "Carré d'Artistes" galleries:

Around fifteen works of small and large sizes will be set up on Friday, November 25, 2016 at "Cuisine et dépendances" in Lyon.

A burst of energy, feeling like I went on a weekend getaway, wonderful moments sharing with my friend Juju, visiting my favorite shops, and the beauty of this magnificent city!

Writing may seem simple, but it is not...It's about finding the message, the environment, the calligraphy, the energy of the stroke...It's all about balance.

For Christmas, you will find at the gallery a wide range of punchy, colorful, and positive creations!

Here are the very latest creations that have just arrived on the French Riviera!

Still a lot of work at the beginning of November, my galleries are asking for restocking and it's great!

Florence and her team will be very happy to welcome you and to present you my new work! Think about Christmas!
