BIO
They told me I was crazy... Many people—clients, friends, even my family—told me I was crazy.
And maybe he was. But not for the reasons they thought.
One day I realized that I had come to this world to PAINT.
For years, I was an entrepreneur. I founded and directed an audiovisual creation and production studio. We worked with major pharmaceutical companies, developing campaigns with scientific content.
The company was doing well. Very well. It had stability, prestige, and solvency.
At the beginning of the adventure, I really enjoyed the projects. I was always more of a creative person than a manager, and I cared deeply about the aesthetic and graphic quality that accompanied the content of the projects we developed. We won several awards at scientific communication festivals for this.
As the company grew, so did more meetings, more structure, more processes... and less creative freedom. Step by step, routine and frustration set in. I became the manager of an efficient machine.
And one day I felt inside that I was wasting my time...
Thinking, over a coffee, it became clear to me: the only thing I had ever wanted to do was PAINT.
Not managing, not organizing. PAINT. I enrolled in a course at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Just one afternoon a week. But it was enough to remind me who I was.
At 55 I decided to sell the company and start over.
Almost no one understood it...
There are moments in life when one has to choose:
settle down or change your life and move forward.
I chose to PAINT.
