For around thirty years, his works have featured landscapes that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. The artist’s hand is light and offers a sensual immersion in the material. The limits between sky and earth, day and night disappear, transgressing the very image of the landscape to touch our senses. It’s also a journey into color to which we are invited, an abundance, an irruption of generous hues, of nuances which come together so that the color be as precise as a musical score whose purpose is is to rediscover the very essence of painting: a primal act generating emotions.
The artist’s canvases allow us to contemplate nature in a different way. fantasy tower, wild or damaged.

Videos, textiles mixing and assembling details of his works, original prints on canvas or fine art paper attest to this voluntary approach which leads to new proposals for paintings of the artist.
