Born in a french atlantic town, living for a long time in spanish mediterranean coast, I have always been involved with the sea. Two hobbies seashells and seaweeds.
Since 1996, I have been collecting, preserving and pressing seaweeds, based on traditional methods of botany but also improving my own technique to press and avoid fading with around 150 different species of algae, tiny ones and giant kelps.
Turning seaweeds into art is my challenge and results can be seen through my exclusive works: scientific pressings, vintage compositions, herbarium, bookmarks, giveaways, multi-panel collages.
Every work is different and constitutes an original model. The design will be variable even if the same species of seaweed are used. Green, brown and red seaweeds offer a marine festival of natural forms and colors.
Lately I am involved with vintage illustrations printed on repurposed old dictionary page.
Therefore I opened a new shop in Etsy as well as in Dawanda.
