Languedoc Roussillon, France
My childhood, my life, my family, my history....I dream of having a house there where I can stop over between all my travels and rest there in my old age.
Study of graphics, painter in letters and decoration. House painter for a while before becoming a designer for a store creating wrought iron furniture.
