La pieuvre
Drawn to her ink, down to the underworld.
I drew La Pieuvre with a pencil. Diving in the darkest depths of the unknown ocean, I followed her and created my first raw punk/metal project 'Limited Luck edition Demo tracks' (2019), exploring rage and other natural hidden feels . La pieuvre stayed with me since... you might even see her tantacles wandering around woodchant !
The space Nautilus
From Earth to Cosmos -No Light & No Gatekeepers
I wanted to create a little brother for La Pieuvre, so I started drawing a nautilus. As it evolved, I dove into lino printing... It was so messy and hard to carve! (But my friend Sam Head's logo lino print truly inspired me to push through.) Then something unexpected happened: strange little residues appeared on the print, like tiny stars scattered across the surface. Perfect timing! I was in the middle of recording "Meteor" and "Météorites," two tracks from my Meteors trilogy. Just like that, the nautilus transformed into a Space Nautilus, which sparked optical illusions and more creation. When painting the limited-edition EP covers, I wanted the void to feel pitch black and infinite—like what a nautilus might sense drifting through the deep sea or outer space, where light barely exists. That's when I stumbled upon the Anish Kapoor / Culture Hustle story and their ultra-black alternative to Vantablack (which, by the way, absorbs 99.965% of light and was originally created by scientists but now exclusively licensed to Kapoor (?!!) ). Since "Snake (REJECTION)" was the lead single, it felt just the perfect paint: Reject exclusivity! ( Particularly for something like ... a color!) Embrace creative freedom & paint the void yourself with the color you want!
The Key's soil
The soil where everything began to flourish.
Crafted with earth from Ardèche and hands in the mud — this piece carries the pulse of my first album. Raw, primal, and rooted in beginnings. -This piece, created for "The Key" in 2017, was a truly hands-in-the-mud experience on canvas. I used organic materials like gravel, sand, and mud—straight from Ardèche—alongside paint. It represents the rich & primal soil that welcomed many more flourishing projects, as "The Key" marked my very first release. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who supported its crowdfunder; you truly helped me take that crucial first step into this world! It is now a living memory from the roots of The Key.
