Médiathèque Colette (Valbonne Sophia Antipolis), 1855 Rte des Dolines, 06560 Valbonne.
In the cultural action room, the press area and the hall of the media library, twenty-three paintings mixing painting and sculpture stage, in an allegorical and humorous way, the excess of modern Man leading to the decline of the Living.
This exhibition questions the sustainability of our anthropocentric lifestyles on a precious and finite planet, and calls for the emergence of a sustainable and desirable society.

Animation-awareness on the reduction of waste production.

Place Bermond, 06560 Valbonne.
Every noon, Place Bermond in Sophia Antipolis sees its many bins fill up to overflowing.
Many high school students and workers from the largest technology park in Europe come to buy a take-out meal in one of the many restaurants on the Place.
An awareness-raising action (information stands, underwater photography exhibition, collaborative artistic workshop) was initiated by a neighborhood council and several partners to:
👨🍳 raise awareness among restaurants to offer returnable and reusable containers,
🍽️ educate consumers to bring their containers, cutlery and bags,
🌍 inform the public about the impact of this packaging, with its extremely short life cycle: resources, water and energy consumed for their manufacture, greenhouse gas emissions caused by their production and transport, pressure on biodiversity.
Currently, 6 packaging dumpsters are collected per week on this Place 😨.
In France, more than 180,000 tons of packaging are produced by fast food per year 😱.
🎨 I had the privilege of leading a collaborative artistic workshop, consisting of fixing, on a blue trash planet, the waste brought by restaurant customers.
Collective exhibition "Impression of the setting sun".
Collective exhibition "Impression of the setting sun".

Terre de Provence, 25 Rue de Verdun, 06370 Mouans-Sartoux.
Exhibition of haiku-photographs and sculpture-paintings.
A photographer, a writer and a plastic artist join forces to put on an exhibition combining photographs-haikus and paintings-sculptures.
Under the title "Impression soleil couchant" (a reference to Claude Monet's painting "Impression, soleil levant", painted at the dawn of the industrial revolution), this exhibition questions the sustainability of our anthropocentric lifestyles on a fragile, precious and finished planet, and calls for the emergence of a sustainable and desirable society.
The haiku-photographs are an invitation to wonder, reverie and respect, in front of landscapes with a luminous, changing, raw and pure atmosphere.
And the paintings-sculptures stage, in an allegorical and humorous way, the excess of modern Man leading to the decline of the Living.

School workshop to raise awareness of ecology through an artistic approach.
October 2022.
Kindergarten, Antibes, France.
I recently had the joy and honor of being invited to speak about art and ecology in a school 📚.
I was able to present how art is multiple (domains, currents, mediums, concerns, ...)🎨, and what the Anthropocene is🌍.
🖼️ Discussions followed around three paintings that I had brought: "Pulling the whole planet to oneself", "Homo consumus", "The balance of ecosystems threatened by human activity".
👨🎨🐞Practical workshops have finally closed this rich and touching morning:
- creation of colors from the three primary colors,
- painting on a pre-built insect hotel,
- quiz on insects,
- filling and installation of the insect hotel in the schoolyard.
I warmly thank the teacher for entrusting me with this beautiful mission. You honor your profession and your students through your pedagogy, your benevolence, your involvement and your sensitivity. 💚

The Covid-19 epidemic has caused a lot of upheaval, stresses and uncertainties in our lives, for over a year now. Fear, sadness, anxiety, or worry about the future, are emotions we feel more frequently.
These "negative" manifestations can surprise or disturb us, and it is tempting to suppress them. They are, however, adapted to the events we are going through, and do not call into question our value. Also, it is necessary to let them express themselves, to avoid them overwhelming us.
This exhibition, full of feelings, illustrates it, and invites us to take care of ourselves, our environment, our democracy, and to think and be alive differently.
