ABOUT

“Medals tell the story, but the mystique reveals the soul of a champion.”

As a collage illustrator, I draw inspiration from everything around me, turning everyday experiences into unique photomontage illustrations. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics offered a wealth of creative ideas for new posters, with the city's vibrant atmosphere, stunning decorations, and the athletic spirit all serving as powerful sources of inspiration. Specializing in collage, I found Paris itself—along with the colorful events and athletes of the Olympics—an endless well of creativity.

However, alongside this inspiration, I'm also deeply moved by the need to address important social issues like trans hate and gender discrimination. Through my art, I aim to highlight these injustices and promote inclusivity, using collage to create powerful visual statements that challenge prejudice and advocate for equality for all genders.
