"I grew up in the countryside in the middle of nowhere, an hour from Paris. My father is a very talented and renowned artist. He paints trees and fields and birds. I grew up in his studio, scribbling on his empty canvas and playing with his oil paintings tubes. I remember the smell of his art.
I remember the scent of the grass in the morning, the gorgeous skies, and the strength of the linden trees.

But I’m obsessed with cities. I suffer from vertigo but I love heights. I’m not sure where it comes from, but lines and perspective have always inspired me. It can be a street, a tower, a large building, a small house or a roof, I love the structure and the composition of a city.
I love to imagine there’s no end to it. Its horizon is structured, busy, uneven, rough.

Yet still you can dream."
