How did you actually start your activity as a paper artist?
After my studies in textile, I was working in Paris in a trend agency, where we were creating fabrics. I was putting my creativity to the use of others, and at a certain point I felt the enormous need to use my creativity for myself, through paper. To work only with this material that I had never left. I got into it, and I truly blossomed.
Do you master any particular techniques?
Paper cutting, sculpted paper, collage… but I would say that I am always ready to learn something new. My way of creating is in work in progress! I like to learn, it is essential. To me, being in this process is a philosophy.
What type of paper do you use and where do you find it?
In my latest works, my paper comes from the artisanal Moulin du Verger, which represents 400 years of paper tradition. I find using this paper emotionally charged. Other creations are made from recycled paper I have collected. I also work with Japanese paper. Whatever its source, paper never leaves me indifferent.
Can you share with us a memorable moment from your professional path?
When I have been able to move someone deeply. It is my aim to be able to touch people. I see it as a gift. It is in those moments I know I have something to tell. I truly believe that you are happy when you do something you are good at.
