🎨 From Storytelling Images to Stirring Emotions
From camera to brush, Michaël turns each painting into a living scene.
Trained at the Beaux-Arts and with 35 years of experience as a first assistant director, he paints as he frames:
each canvas becomes a still frame pulsing with emotion.
His favorite medium? Recycled formwork wood – raw, unpredictable matter, turned into pictorial poetry.

​

🧬 An Artistic Signature

A fusion of cinematic storytelling, jazz atmosphere, and emotional painting.
Bold textures, strong contrasts, carefully crafted light — every painting is a sequence shot in itself.
His bar scenes, urban portraits, and silent women echo Hopper, Klimt, or even Wong Kar-Wai.

​

🌍 An International Path

His work has traveled: Florence, Vienna, Rome, Madrid, Zurich, Los Angeles, Manchester...
Permanent collections, artistic awards, international features (Art Market, Visionary Award...).

🔨 A Personal Connection to Wood

Formwork wood is a paradoxical material — tough, raw, scarred… but also fragile and full of memory.
Michaël never picks it randomly: each plank becomes a creative partner.
He doesn’t hide its flaws — he works with them.
Like an actor embracing their story.

​

🎬 A Double Artistic Life

Still active as a first assistant director, Michaël moves between two interwoven worlds.
Cinema gives him a sense of framing, rhythm, and lighting.
Painting grants him the freedom to freeze time, to capture emotion without words.
One feeds the other, like two heartbeats in sync.

✨ Today, Michaël paints what we no longer see:
A burst of laughter, a lost gaze, a suspended moment.
Each canvas is an invitation to slow down and feel. ✨
