My artistic approach is directed towards a contemplative art.
It is the quest for an art that liberates rather than traps.
Getting out of oneself to enter a painting, freeing oneself from reason to go to the heart of sensation, to the heart of being. Contemplative art opens breaches in our mental routines offering a deeper vision of reality. Movement, color speak to us.
My work is in search of an energy giving the possibility to recharge my batteries in my paintings.
The evocation of happiness, that's what drives me and makes me move forward...
