I trained in contemporary dance at the Rencontres Internationales de Danse Contemporaine in Paris and at the Junior Ballet d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux. I completed my studies at Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's Performing Arts Research and Training Studios in Brussels, where I graduated in 2006. In 2017, I also obtained a diploma in contemporary jewelry at the RHOK Academy of Arts in Brussels, while continuing to pursue my dance career.
In addition to my work as a dancer, I have also been a movement director and artistic collaborator for the opera stage directors Clarac-Deloeuil>Le Lab for the past 14 years.
Since 2019, I have been a critic for the performing arts platform Pzazz. My articles extend from 7 years of giving dance lectures in theaters in Belgium and abroad.
As a visual artist, my creations, which range from jewelry to sculpture, installation and performance, draw on my multi-disciplinary training and professional experience in the applied and performing arts. Several art events have featured my work, including the Paris, Mons, and Stockholm European triennial for contemporary jewelry as well as jewelry weeks in Athens, Barcelona, Budapest, and Brussels, Strasbourg and Melbourne art galleries, the Z33 museum in Hasselt, and Beijing Design Week.
I call on all of my multiple vocations to produce a unique style. As a jewelry designer, I question notions of intimacy, care and social value. As a movement director for opera, I bring out emotions that stir the soul through the living. My experience as a critic of contemporary dance and performance art allows me to reflect on societal issues concerning creators.
My work integrates creative processes from various artistic fields. I harness the unique qualities of each medium to inspire ideas, open perspectives, and elicit emotions.
Taking many forms - wearables, spatial wanderings, large-scale performative jewelry, interactive installations - I give equal attention to how I display my work as its content.
I enjoy designing pieces that encourage the audience to engage in a kinaesthetic relationship with the work and make them actors in the work, as I believe that the body is the embodiment of contemporary culture. Personal physical experience serves as a springboard for the mind to examine societal issues.
My artwork intends to prompt introspection and conversations extending beyond the piece itself.
