About
I’m a French-born visual artist and clinical Pychologist, spending my life between France and Portugal since 2016. After studying design in France, I moved to Lisbon to learn Portuguese on my own and began a degree in clinical psychology. There I completed my first project, a travel journal about Lisbon that I presented at the Rendez-vous du Carnet de Voyage in 2017 in Clermont-Ferrand. In 2018, I went to New York for 3 months to take part in an art residency at a local gallery and to write my second travel journal, an illustrated book about nature in New York. I then returned to Lisbon and presented the second travel book at the Clermont-Ferrand festival in 2019.
Currently, I’m pursuing my projects combining Illustration and Psychology, including a series of psycho-educational comics on various mental health topics. The first, published in 2021, Pompette, focuses on alcoholic diseases and the world of wine.
Today, my artwork can be seen in various galleries in Lisbon (Joia, Nova Banca), Porto (Squid Ink) and Belgium (That’s what x said).
