from Peru to Fribourg
A sketchbook always in hand
About
I’m an architect with a degree from Peru, specialising in art history and the restoration of historic buildings.
I love raising awareness of the cultural heritage of places and helping to preserve it. Drawing was with me throughout my studies in urban planning and the restoration of historic buildings: the fountains of Aix-en-Provence, the neighbourhoods of Marseille and Brest, the villages of the Dordogne – everything went into my sketchbook.
I then worked as an urban planner in Aix-en-Provence, then freelance for architecture firms, before leaving for Réunion, where I illustrated a children’s book and ran heritage projects in schools.
Since settling in Switzerland, drawing has taken up more and more of my life: commissions, classes, portraits. I see drawing and painting as the expression of the soul, and that’s what I love to share.
