Pop is about speaking everybody's language. The imagery and iconography we instantly recognize. When you can rely on things that the public already knows, you're dealing with Pop.

All my images are self-portraits, even when I'm not in them.

I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself. I went to theater school, film school, music school, mime school ... Finally, I was able to gather enough knowledge to build the confidence to create my own work, that goes utterly against the sense of specialization.

The first rule on breaking a rule is to know everything about the rule.

I'm a Joker. Dangerous and silly at the same time.

My only career goal is to be an halloween icon.

What I wear on and off stage is my mask. You see, a mask doesn't hide you, it exposes you.

When I was young and I was forced to watch Disney films, I would fast forward the good guys, wasn't interested in princes and princesses, only by the villains.

I love to laugh. Specially at myself. Sometimes I spend hours doing it.

Nothing I do is natural, realistic, organic or accidental. I'm never spontaneous, I'm completely premeditated.
