Born in 1981 in Alsace, Thierry Jochum has always loved art in all its forms. Egon Schiele and Gustave Klimt are his first references. A pictorial universe prone to a particular imagination of the human body. As part of his applied arts studies, he chooses to detach himself to create an imaginary free from any technical constraint.
