Presentation
SAM, came to art by "need". After his adolescence, he felt the need to externalize his sensitivity. Emotions that he wanted to keep alive and eventually share in the transformants in work.
He started with the easiest thing to do for him: writing. An image, an emotion and the words that come to it are assembled into prose or poems.
He then experimented naturally with painting and quickly with the sculpture which allowed him to add a new dimension to his work. He took part in his first exhibition at the Bayonne Young Talent Trophy in 2003. Positive opinions encouraged him in this way.
At the end of 2006, the Spacejunk Gallery art centers located in Grenoble, Bourg St Maurice, Lyon and Bayonne, interested by his original approach to form, offered to participate in their various group exhibitions for 3 years.
INFLUENCES
His influences emerge from pop art, street art, nature and contemporary art. He enjoys trying out different techniques and materials and particularly appreciates sculpture and outdoor installations. He seeks balance and harmony in form to bring out the simple beauty of the work but also to provoke the eye, to create an interaction between the work and the public, the work and its environment.
