For over 20 years, I've been riding the rollercoaster of creation. I've enjoyed its brilliant moments and sometimes... its challenges. Passion drove me every step of the way. Yet, at some point, I felt the need to step back.
My journey led me to books, research papers, and material of all sorts.
I engaged in rich conversations with fellow creators, and experts from various sectors. What emerged wasn't a revelation, or a radical breakthrough but rather a comforting statement:
Like chemical reactions, creation is beautifully unpredictable. And yet, it holds an underlying order. With the right approach, it can be channeled and enhanced. This not only smoothens the journey,
but elevates the final outcome.

From this understanding, "Les Électrons Libres" were born : my venture into blending the beautiful chaos of creation with a more structured approach. Think of it as a science of creation, if you will.
