Chinguwave Festival Conference 2026 June

In June 2026, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Chinguwave Festival, where I shared my journey as a French artist building a new life and career in South Korea.

During this conference, I spoke openly about the challenges of leaving a stable career to pursue art, adapting to a new culture, finding inspiration in Korea, and creating a bridge between French and Korean artistic influences.

Beyond painting, it was an opportunity to discuss creativity, resilience, cultural exchange, and the courage to follow one's passion despite uncertainty.

Thank you to everyone who attended and made this experience so memorable.
