Etienne de Roissart comes from a family who had been immersed in art for a long time and music, since his great-grandfather is not other than the Bruges composer Joseph Ryelandt (1870-1965). "My parents taught me the curiosity, freedom of spirit, transmitted to me the thirst of art, creation and a certain idealism which is still with me today.

When I was very young, I was passionate about the object and the world of shapes in general, which led me to start studying at the University of of design in Saint-Luc, which I did not pursue, being much more interested in architecture and antique objects.
