• Using colors and shapes to express the vehement beauty and distortions of the soul •
Collectors Club V, New York
My first exhibition in NYC, in the middle of a snowstorm.
And still, people showed up. 🩵
I met beautiful souls.
I shared my work.
And two pieces found their homes.
Grateful for the experience, the conversations, the energy in that room.
Thank you for the way you curate moments, not just events. The atmosphere, the art, the performances, the gathering, you truly create something multidimensional.
And thank you for capturing the essence of the night so beautifully.
Next stop:
Echoes of Light - June 2026, NYC.
The light continues.

Electric Noir- New York ⚡🖤
Next Sunday, February 22, I’ll be presenting new works at Collectors Club V in the East Village, curated by
This marks my debut in the United States, in dialogue with Lagos-based artist whose work explores structure and inheritance.
In contrast, my works move toward horizon and voltage.
Sunset gradients dissolve into charged color fields,
figures emerging through depth and light.
These pieces are part of a larger body developing toward my upcoming solo exhibition, Echoes of Light, opening in June.
Attendance is limited to 35 guests, reservations are filling quickly.

• Lady Blue and the Crane beneath a Living Sky •
The crane has always been a spiritual symbol of wisdom, justice, and longevity, a quiet guide between worlds.
I painted her as a presence, not a metaphor, the sky as something alive, in movement, inspired by Van Gogh,
painted through my own rhythm and brushstrokes.
This piece is about alignment. About listening. About standing gently, beneath a living sky.
This is also part of a larger project I’ll be sharing very soon. 🤍

•Femme de l’Être• Hommage à .
Aujourd'hui marque le premier anniversaire du décès Miss Tic, figure emblématique du street art français.
Miss Tic a marqué l'histoire de l'art urbain avec son audace et son talent inégalés. Elle a bravé les conventions en affichant ses messages poétiques et engagés dans les rues de Paris, devenant ainsi une véritable icône du mouvement.
Ce tableau est le fruit de notre collaboration, où l’art figuratif (.mess) rencontre le graffiti (). Il célèbre l'héritage de Miss Tic, son esprit rebelle et son impact sur la culture street art en France.

• Rhiannon and the serpent • found a home 🎉
A big thanks to my muse 🤍 and to my collector for adopting this art piece for her home ☺️
~ Throughout the history of humanity, snakes have been the companions of women. Poisoners and healers. Tempting and dangerous. Familiar but exotic. Devious and terrifying. Their hypnotic way of moving, the sensual outline of their curves, their cool skin like water and their fiery tongues. Snakes don't scare women, they are women 🐍

||"La révolte est essentielle à la société" : voilà le constat qui s'impose à nous devant ces portraits gigantesques d'icônes dont les combats ont bouleversé leurs époques, de Simone Weil à Greta Tumberg en passant par Nina Simone ou Billie Holliday. Plus que ces femmes, ce sont leurs révoltes que mettent à l'honneur .mess et ||
Quelques photos de notre exposition en duo « Révoltes » .amarrage 💥
Un énorme merci aux personnes qui nous ont aidé à monter ce projet qui nous tenait à coeur, et à tous ceux qui nous ont soutenu et adopté nos œuvres, ONE LOVE 🫶
New projects on the way, 👁️
