Where sustainability becomes art.
Luminous Marine Creations
Discover my artwork, created on locally sourced, recycled wood and inspired by the vibrant life beneath the surface of the Rangiroa ocean.
Each piece is a reflection of my daily encounters as a dive instructor in French Polynesia, capturing the colors, light, and unique marine creatures that make this underwater world so magical. By giving new life to salvaged wood, I aim to celebrate both the beauty of the ocean and the importance of preserving our environment.
Custom Polynesian-Inspired Murals
Bring a touch of the islands into your space with my hand-painted murals, inspired by the rich culture, vibrant nature, and ocean life of Polynesia. Each piece is a unique, made-to-measure creation, designed in close collaboration with you to reflect your vision and the spirit of the islands. Whether for a home, a business, or a public space, these custom artworks transform any wall into a window to the lagoon.

I offer personalized artwork tailored to your ideas and story — from painted pieces on recycled wood to Polynesian-inspired compositions that tell a unique tale. Whether you’re looking for a custom logo, a dive stamp design, or an original painting that captures a special memory or theme, each creation is made with care, creativity, and a deep connection to the spirit of the islands. Let’s bring your vision to life together.
My World
As a painter based in Rangiroa, I create works inspired by the sea, the shimmering light of the lagoon, and the silent dances of fish.
Each piece is born from a feeling experienced underwater — a color glimpsed while freediving, a current whispering its own story.
I paint on locally reclaimed wood, embracing a handcrafted and respectful approach where every imperfection already holds a story.
My style is fluid and colorful, with transparent layers that echo my beginnings in watercolor.
I love to express the ocean’s fragile beauty — to share it more deeply, and to help protect it.
My Background
After studying at a business school, I worked in financial analysis, launched a translation company, and explored woodworking…
My love of adventure and passion for learning languages led me to live in a dozen different countries.
But everything changed in Polynesia.
In Rangiroa, I found more than just a lagoon — I found a refuge.
A place where you breathe differently, where you take time to listen, to create, to dive.
I fell in love with this land, its culture, its colors, and its silences filled with life.
Today, I divide my time between art and diving, between the shades of the ocean and the tones of my palette.
My work is a bridge between these two passions — a way to create a dialogue between the underwater world and human emotion.
