Artist Statement

Some paintings have movement. Some paintings have waves that carry you. I have always been attracted by that. I like to introduce movement and colors in my work so that the flow can transport you to the painting’s universe. For many years, I worked with watercolor and gouache to capture the secrets of this wave in figurative works.

Today, with acrylic and oil, I feel more than ever the urge to express this life in movement.

With the original urge to paint a specific theme, I free the colors and the brush strokes to compose the universe of my vision. I emerge from this first rush, this first delivery. I then build the painting on this foundation that was given to me as a gift. The images and color combinations which emerge before and during the painting experience are the representations of my inner worlds, of their colorful essence; they transform my heritage into new unmapped realms when I listen to their movement and their music.

My paintings cross boundaries and beckon the vitality of Life.

They carry the strength and the freedom that bring me peace.
