“I started taking photos when I was fifteen. For almost three years, I shot models. I dreamed of a life as a fashion photographer. I entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp with the idea of meeting creators there.
Art history and aesthetic philosophy were among my favorite subjects. I always preferred letters. Besides, it is as part of a Latin lessonin college, that I discovered Hubert Robert.

Our teacher showed us The Fire of Rome (which took place in 64 AD and painted by Hubert Robert in 1771, editor’s note)… There is nothing more beautiful than a dark painting made of shades and points of light.

While conducting some research online, I came across The swimming pool which I have not yet been able to admire in real life, because it is kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I only have one desire though, it’s to live there! In this case, I would certainly be in the water, accompanied by a handsome ephebe, between the statues of Venus, on the left, and Mercury, on the right.
A projection in art
I love Greco-Roman mythology, whose gods are ultimately very human. Olympus is the reality TV of ancient times. I project myself into this paintingas in my song “One day I will marry an angel”. At the time I wrote it, I wanted the words to come true. I have just moved to a new apartment in Paris, where I am starting to surround myself with works of art and design. If I were a multi-billionaire, I would have had this set built with a ruined building at home. Last week I visited, alone with my sister, the Louvrewhich is home to superb Hubert Robert. It was the best gift of my life! »
