One day I held a few paint brushes in my hands....and I found happiness!As a chemist, my professional career came first.Passionate about art, my dream was always to”know how to paint”.At last I have made this dream come true without ever thinking that one day my pictures could please and be exposed in a Gallery. Answering the question as from whence inspiration comes... It is quite simple:Starting especially with plantlife – details from a tree trunk, a leaf, a root – I follow this thread, I escape in front of my canvas and let myself be carried away by gesture and inspiration.I hope that I will remain a long time in this state of mind.Except in certain cases, I never give a title to my pictures, so that the spectator can also escape...
