Originally French, he now lives in California. His personal work can be seen permanently in several galleries and various collections in Europe and the United States.
The style of Christophe’s personal work takes its roots in Contemporary Imaginative Realism, drawing inspiration from a wide variety of classical painting schools, including the European Symbolists, Art Nouveau and Art Deco, yet reshaped into a modern type of imagery in which imagination and polished craftsmanship prevail. He is also inspired by painters like the Hudson River School, The American Realists, The Romantics and more contemporary artists like Sandorfi, Beksinski, Ugarte and Les Visionnaires in France.
Travel and music are a large part of his inspiration as well.
