Je n’ai pas toujours aimé la peinture. J’ai pourtant baigné dedans avec ma mère qui accrochait ses toiles un peu partout à la maison. J’ai dû tester une fois ou deux à l’adolescence pour passer le temps mais rien de sérieux.Au milieu des années 90, je me suis mis à skater à fond. A cette époque il n’y avait pas autant de structures qu’aujourd’hui. J’allais au collège avec ma board, c’était la bonne époque. Aujourd’hui j’ai passé la trentaine et je ne manque pas l’occasion d’aller skater les ruelles cannoises, la ville où je suis né.

La peinture est venue par hasard à l’âge de 26 ans. J’ai eu comme un besoin de créer, de libérer ma pensée. Depuis ce jour, pas une seconde ne passe sans que je dessine,

déchire et cultive mon imagination. J’ai eu la chance d’exposer plusieurs fois en France et de collaborer avec des marques de skate et de snowboard.

Le projet de peindre sur les couvertures de magazines est également arrivé de nulle part. On laisse traîner des choses, on les assemble et le puzzle se forme. Tout a commencé avec une couverture de Vice magazine. J’ai envoyé une photo de l’illustration et l’idée a plu. Motivé comme jamais, j’ai sorti toute ma collection de Transworld, Thrasher et autre Skateboarder mag. Réinterpréter une photo c’est lui donner un second souffle, une nouvelle vie.

J’ai pensé aussi que de réunir tous les maillons de la chaîne (photographes, athlètes, marques, magazines) pouvait rendre le projet plus interactif.

Il était important que je reste fidèle à mon univers qui se compose de personnages monstrueusement gentils et ouverts sur le monde. Il y a une grande curiosité derrière tout ce processus, une envie d’apprendre et de s’améliorer.

PREFACE

8 | RECOVER

I didn’t always love painting. Yet growing up, I was surrounded by it with my mother’s paintings that hung all around the house. I tried it once or twice when I was young, but it was never anything serious.In the mid-90s, I started to get really into skateboarding. At that time, there were not many structures. I used to go to school with my board, it was the good old days. Today, I am 30 years old and I don’t pass up an opportunity to go skate the streets of Cannes, the city where I was born.

Painting, on the other hand, was accidental. At the age of 26, I suddenly felt the need to create, to free my mind.Since that day, not one second goes by without me drawing and cultivating my imagination. I have been able to exhibit in France several times and to collaborate with skate and snowboard brands.

The idea to paint on the front page of magazines came out of nowhere, too.It all started with a cover of Vice magazine. I sent them the artwork and they liked it. More motivated than ever, I took out my entire collection of Transworld, Thrasher and Skateboarder magazines and just drew away.

To make the project more interactive, I wanted to bring everyone together, from the photographers and athletes, to the brands and magazines.

But it was important that I remain faithful to my world, which consists of characters monstrously nice and open to the world. There is a great curiosity behind this process, a desire to learn and improve. Like life. Reinterpreting a picture is just that: it’s giving it a second chance, a new life.
