My career

 

I was born in 1972, the son of a cabinet maker and of a multidisciplinary artist. I obtained my diploma from the Artistic Stringed Instrument School of Noroît in 1995. I then moved to Belgium to work at the Maison Bernard, in Brussels, under the direction of Jan Strick. Back home in 1998, I opened my workshop in order to dedicate myself to the making of quartet instruments.

 

Like most of my colleagues, I am in search of the perfect violin. A stimulation which enables me to surpass myself through each new instrument. Challenges, researches, attempts and experimentations which means that this art renews itself down the centuries, and for how much longer...? Create the new from the old so as to add a further sparkle : this is the alchemy of the violin maker.
