"Paint in the manner of the ancients using brushes and color with water or oil, what could be more natural for centuries. A net tilting of this period is with the arrival of digital, a step Now totally anchored in our lives with this immense contribution that we know but also with the risk of making non -virtual arts obsolete. I think today that, as long as the hand and the mind caress, free, paper, The earth, the canvas or the graphic palette, the creation roads will remain open.
Artistic vitality wants us to ventinarily venture, in particular on unknown lands at the risk of not being easily labeled. I tend to stack the desires and experiences, some inspired by others and I no longer hesitate to approach new themes. Very recently I started a series of canvases that I call for the moment: "Liquid horizons". These reflections of water make me rediscover the gestures as well as the work of the "net" previously worked in my pigment paintings as well as in my series "Paris polychrome". "
