Artist statement

In the digital pulse of my creations lies 'Cybernetics Expressionism,' a term I coined to encapsulate the symbiosis between the algorithmic precision of my technical background and the emotive spontaneity of my art. From the rich literary soil of Saint-Michel to the vibrant canvases nurtured in Orléans, my journey is a testament to the poetry of code and the narrative of color.

My exploration began with the structured elegance of Modern Literature, weaving through the logical realms of software engineering, and evolving into the complexity of a Staff Engineer's vision. These experiences have been the catalyst for my unique artistic philosophy, where every line of code informs brushstrokes on canvas, and every melody reflects the architecture of a well-crafted program.

'Cybernetics Expressionism' is not merely a label but an experience — where the viewer is invited to witness the harmony of technology and art converging. My works, whether displayed in private collections or resonating through the chords of an LP, are immersive dialogues that bridge the organic with the engineered.

As an artist, I stand at the nexus of an ever-shifting narrative, where 'Lumière' is not just light but a beacon within the digital frontier, and 'Code is Art' becomes a mantra for the seamless fusion of my dual identities. Here, the viewer is invited to partake in a journey that defies the binary and revels in the continuum of creation.
