about me
I Explore the Ethereal, the Beautiful and the Spiritual stories of human creativity. My motivation in writing here is to have a space to gather what I research about art. I encounter pieces that catch my eye, especially as I walk the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
What I will focus on is art with technical mastery and uplifting messages and principles. In my view, Art needs to place the highest value on authenticity by accurately depicting things. I often find this kind of inspiration at the department of Hellenistic Art, Asian Art and European Paintings.

Hi there. Story time.
Visual Art, which is the area of my focus, has a leading role in society. It gives the pulse on what the current society is like, it's a mirror, it reflects the moral compass of the world. What is beautiful, upright and inspiring transpires through art. Art influences people in subtle and not so subtle ways. That is why I will focus on forms that value technical mastery first. My understanding of beauty might lean on ancient influences and hopefully you will appreciate this perspective. I take this opportunity to thank Serge Boÿer, my former sculpture and volume teacher from the School of Fine Arts I attended in Avignon, France. He was the first one to spark my interest in art and its deeper meaning by introducing his students to the Golden Ratio and its application in art and architecture.
In short, while my focus remains on traditional art, I draw on the research of scholars such as Aude de Kerros and Nathalie Heinich, which you can read here in translated essays. Their work provides insight into the societal shifts that shaped modern and early 20th-century art, helping to understand why certain movements reached an impasse and how the status of art has evolved today.
These reflections inform my approach to traditional works, where I seek deeper meaning and timeless aesthetics, exploring history with care and attention.
A new way of exploring the history of art means focusing on traditional works with depth, classic aesthetics, and enduring meaning. Having trained in contemporary art, including Land Art projects, I now choose to go against the grain by self-teaching through sketching classical Greek works, studying and copying the old masters, and immersing myself in techniques no longer emphasized in current art school curricula.
