People repeated it often enough: "Do you have a website? You should have a website. Why dont you have a website?"
Well, here it is, the website. You can now see my works and contact me if you wish.
My introduction, this poem by Prévert I had been thinking about it for 40 years, since Fine Arts School where they were telling me that the realistic style was obsolete, it wasn't done anymore, it was academism, etc. They added that freedom in art had been prevalent since the Refus Global. For them, it meant: " obligation to paint abstractly." Some freedom!
It took me years of furious work to finally be able to say that my freedom was worth the same as the freedom of others. My freedom is the exploration of the smallest detail of reality, the most delicate nuance of color, the most subtle glare of light.
My freedom is all that composes reality.
I invite you to come to my world, the world of reality with all its symbols, illusions, dreams and poetry.
Renoir said: " There are enough annoying things in the world, without forcing ourselves to produce more". I share his point of view.

elcome, art lovers! I suggest you discover a non-exhaustive panel of my paintings here, which allows you to have an overall picture of what I am able to. Have a good visit, and I invite your comments or come visit the gallery. See you soon!
