Having grown up in Marseille, CéPé attributes his inspiration to the light and colors characteristic of the south of France.

In each of his works, he loves to deconstruct space, bodies, and faces to imagine a world that is distorted and innocent. Scenes of everyday life and the nude are his most cherished subjects.
