I am a fine art photographer and painter based in London but frequently elsewhere.
My work centres on the human form, observed, imagined, revealed. I photograph in black and white, sketch in pencil, and paint in oil using a hybrid process that merges traditional techniques with digital refinement. I work with film, light, and shadow, then bring the image into a quiet dialogue with AI. The machine does not replace the hand. It extends it.
I do not seek perfection. I seek presence. The line before the movement. The expression before the thought. That precise, fleeting point where performance disappears.
I was raised between London and Monaco, fluent in silence, curiosity, and art. I studied in Paris, Berlin, and Florence, though I’ve learned most by watching people breathe when they think they’re alone.
I fence. I ride. I smoke cigars, though never idly. I like linen, jazz on vinyl, and things that age well. I’ve always believed that elegance and danger are distant cousins.
My influences range from Tamara de Lempicka and Helmut Newton to classical sculpture, brutalist architecture, and early cinema. My work is structured and sensual, cinematic but never staged.
My studio is in Notting Hill. My archive is scattered across hard drives, notebooks, and memory. Some pieces begin on canvas. Others begin in code.
