...Hi, to introduce myself, I live at Salon de Provence, south of France and I'm father of three beautiful children. I started to work with computers graphic around 1993. This allowed me to merge my skills of illustrator and concept artist, with 3D projects. Now, I am a digital artist specializing in the modeling of characters and sets for animated series or feature films. I start as 3D generalist and spent the last 11 years at Action Synthese as modeling supervisor, a french animation studio based in Marseille. In between my modeling works, I used to managing teams or evaluating time to manufacturing 3D projects ....


All the digital images based in content, represent my personal work and mostly as a team. They were created using indifferently with Softimage|3D, Softimage|XSI, Maya, Adobe Photoshop, but often traditional techniques.

And, when I do not use my computer or my pencils ??? As much as my time allows me, I love to draw or paint. I like also ride my mountain bike on all the hills around the Lubéron or mountains of Alpes de Provence...I practice sometimes also trecking, canyoning or climbing , especially when after that, I can finish in a good restaurant, like a lot of people, I think :)
