After creating works inspired by several traditional symbols of my origins, I'm now turning to more sober work.
I seek a visual aesthetic by exploiting the interaction of materials. With an uncluttered form, I focus on the movement that allows the elements to be free.
In a second phase, I focus more on a reassuring sensation. With a more ergonomic, curved shape, I play with materials.
My approach remains a long journey of exploration of different ideas, paths and convictions. Like memories, my work represents the evolution of my inner world.
I studied ceramics at the Lycée d'Art Appliqué Auguste Renoir in Paris and graduated with a Brevet de Technicien en Art Appliqué, option Décor sur Céramique in 2009. In 2011, I obtained my DEC d'Art Plastique from Cégep du Vieux Montréal. I then studied at the Bonsecours ceramics center and obtained my DEC in 2016. I took part in the Salon des métiers d'art de Montréal as well as several editions of 1001 Pots. I also worked as an assistant ceramist for Goye ceramic artist from 2017 to 2021. I've been teaching several pottery classes at Les Faiseurs since 2018 and I'm also the studio's resident technician. And since fall 2021 I've been working at the Bonsecours ceramics center as an assistant teacher for the molding class.
I use translucent porcelain and black stoneware. Almost all my pieces are turned. After the first firing, I glaze my pieces and fire my work in an electric kiln at 1200°C.
