Art for Ambivalent Animals

Welcome, my friend!
March 14th, 2026 is the genesis of this new project, 35.5 years in the making. My first YouTube video will follow soon. The website is under construction. What's online? First, my paintings archive (2012-2020) with many artworks from my twenties – then my music archive (2009-2015) which contains my first three song albums. If you like my vibe and want to support me as an artist, I invite you to start following my YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels. This is the greatest year of my artistic life to this day (never too late!) and everything will unfold in the following months. 🪶🌳🌈💖

Masks of a Maker

I am a painter, singer-songwriter and shamanic practitioner based in Dordogne, France. On the website, you can find my paintings (gallery and shop) and my music albums (with links to audio platforms) – along with an ever-expanding online oracle (that will be available in the coming months).
« In my blood, flow the trouty rivers of rural Ireland and the foxy outskirts of suburban England. French life in rational disguise, Canadian birth and spirit allies. Baked-beans father tongue, béret-baguette mother slang. Neurons under siege by the iconic ideals of conquering Christianity, spirit smashing through with the thunderous chants of Animistic energy. Love as the true religion, belief as a food for pigeons.
Virgo with Virgo rising, a blank page, an island unreached. A wild animal in a civilised costume, a magical mycelium man who's happy to be doomed. A living being who speaks with the dead, a child in the dark who learnt not to be afraid. A nomadic heart enclosed within four walls, body as house and flower as spouse. Tension is my precious guide, intention is my joyous ride.
I am everything and I am nothing: the entangled entangler, the story that tells itself, the bed of the forgotten river, the snail in the comfy shell. One who sees beyond the eggy wall, one who sings the path and hears the call. Welcome to my galaxy, wishing you well on your path to existential ecstasy! »
