History: a book and exhibitions
All my illustration projects and my creations are there to share not only my passion for history and architecture with as many people as possible.
This is why I wanted to develop different projects that were close to my heart during which I was able to implement my art and present it to different targets. From my Nice studio in the Alpes-Maritimes, I have worked over the years on several projects including a children's book on the History of France or a major exhibition at the famous Palais Masséna from Nice.
Special and precious works in which I put my art and my creative soul that I let you discover ...

My History of France : an illustrated book for children
This is the story of a story between a mother and her daughter, my daughter Garance who is now 10 years old.
This is the story of his school apprenticeship. A love story between a mother and her daughter to try to find solutions so that the learning of words , sentences , themes of the History are integrated and assimilated as best as possible.
In the joy and in the most playful way possible, it seemed interesting to me by following the thread of my passion for the world of art and drawing on the one hand and for transmission and pedagogy on the other hand, to find the right method to address a child.
"My History of France told to children" ... or how to make history love differently.
This illustrated book then became obvious.
It is the search for learning and benevolent, funny and distanced support . The purpose of this history book is my history of France with both selected historical notions and endless entry points supported by the creation of a graphic and colorful environment.
My other passion being architecture, you will find great monuments and the fabric of habitat evolution over the centuries. Some pages are deliberately left in black and white so that they can be colored by the children later, through the coloring book .
Ideas are transformed into graphics and drawings to help understand dates and events. A drawing on a fact like a word in a sentence to better understand the story with a capital H. The illustration boards synthesize the words and the drawings are more easily printed for the profiles of children who primarily have visual memory.
A new and fun way to learn history more easily by drawing!
Through my experiences with children and my practice of artistic mediation in schools, I have noticed that information passes more easily if it is illustrated. This illustrated book therefore responds to this learning problem.
I wish you a pleasant discovery and a pleasant reading. Use this book to make learning the themes of history easier for your children.

Exhibition of Chinese ink drawings at the Masséna Museum in Nice
From the history of my passion for architecture and archaeological sites, artistic exhibition projects have been proposed to me.
One exhibition in particular marked my artistic history. In 2017, my drawings and illustrations were exhibited as part of the exhibition "Nice, at the time of history" within from the famous Masséna Museum on the Promenade des Anglais.
For the occasion, Mr. Jean-Jacques Aillagon, former Minister of Culture and head of cultural institutions , Submitted me a special order of India ink pen drawings . The Palais Masséna, architectural jewels of the city of Nice, hosted the exhibition of portraits of great figures who made the history of Nice, writers, painters , scientists ... but also elevations of the facades of emblematic buildings of Nice.
The installation of my work was done by masking on paper.
My drawings were exhibited alongside busts sculptures and other historical paintings depicting the history of Nice.
You will have understood that history is at the center of my drawing and illustration projects and I never stop making my art evolve towards ever more successful projects.
With Indian ink and watercolor, I bring to life in my own way architectural monuments and fragments of history to bring back to life the past periods in my creations. A journey through time for young and old to discover or rediscover without moderation ...
