HOW I CRAFT

My process is shaped by balance — between making and unmaking, structure and memory. These five steps define the path of every work.

Inspiration — Concept — Foundation — Surface — Decay

1/ INSPIRATION

For more than 15 years, the surfaces of the world have been my source. I photograph and document decay and patina in a personal archive. This catalog is my compass: it guides the colors, textures and rhythm of every commission.

2/ CONCEPT

I translate inspiration into concepts shaped for each project. I select aggregates, pigments and processes that echo the site’s character and the client’s vision. Each idea begins with a short moodboard phase before moving into the studio, where techniques and samples define the right surface. Every concept bridges the gap between found memory and the new future space.

3/ FOUNDATION

Layers anchor my work. Whether plaster, metal or other materials, I build surfaces in a multi-layer process. Even those layers that remain unseen are as important as the visible ones; they create depth and ensure the finishedwall holds time.

4/ SURFACE

The surface is the visible expression of the process—a finished artwork ready to inhabit your space. Sometimes a motif recalls fragments of old walls and façades; other times it is an abstract play of color.

5/ DECAY

Decay is the final chapter. A considered sequence of taking away and adding. Through sanding, washing and scratching, the material is revealed and sometimes worked over and over again. Imperfections are embraced so each wall keeps evolving and remembering.

I turn raw inspiration into concepts that give each project its distinct identity.
