Biography

Hi! I’m a french concept artist & illustrator and I recently graduated from Isart digital in Paris where I completed a 5-year Game Art master’s degree specializing in 2D. My studies were done in a work-study program, which enabled me to gain professional experiences by working in various companies. This led me to finish my curriculum with an internship working on Crash 4. Right now I am starting my activity as a freelance while working part time on an indie game project with friends. Inspired by illustrators of old, I specialize in fantasy and stylized works, but do enjoy the challenge of trying new styles and themes to further my knowledge and drawing skills!
