He graduated in Foreign Languages (English and German Bachelor’s Degree) from Sorbonne University and in History (Master’s Degree in History, Master’s Degrees in Art and Architecture History).

He has been working in the streets all over the world since the early 2000s. His works painted on objects or on canvas are exhibited in several galleries, both in France and abroad.
