I was born (1965) and I raised in Paris (France). I did not only have the luck to grow up in one of the greatest cities in the world, I´m also the descendant from some very well-known painters. My great-grandfather was
Louis Valtat (1869-1952), who influenced the past art scene, and my grandmother Marie-Lucie Nessi-Valtat (1910-1992). I didn´t have the chance to know my great-grandfather, but I spend most of my free time with my grandmother at her studio, observing her painting, her artworks or accompanying her to the large amount, and very popular, vernissages. This past time influenced my glance for colours, shapes and the fineness of accents, but also for people and the life itself. The perfect presupposition for my present occupation, the photography. As a little boy I already handled with a camera, and when I reached 15 years old, I discovered my love for photography.
