I was born in 1995 in Montreal, Canada. I have been practicing the arts since a very young age. I developed an artistic style through the exploration of various techniques learned during my college years, where I studied visual arts and architecture before continuing my education at the University of Quebec's design school.

Alongside my work in architecture, I used to draw and explore different artistic styles through various mediums. It was while preparing an architecture portfolio where I had to present a drawing with the theme "How can a line become an architectural space?" that I began to explore line drawing. After several sketches, the idea of a simple line became apparent. It would thicken in certain places, creating space. This was the catalyst for the inspiration behind my art.​

​​By combining this method with the technical foundations of portraiture, I was able to evolve my style. The abstract art of a line could create a concrete composition, allowing for the perception of shading and the subject's form.

My creations challenge the viewer to examine the details of the interplay of these lines and ponder the power they hold within the portrait and the creation of a concrete composition. I then refine my technique by equipping myself to translate my art into canvas painting and sculpture.

In my artistic creations, I primarily focus on portraits of animals and humans, aiming to convey intense emotions through facial expressions. However, my works go beyond simply representing a subject; they explore the abstract relationship between lines to convey a message or highlight a particular subject, encouraging viewers to reflect and explore new perspectives.
