Some watercolour workshops as points of support to evolve into a personal style corresponding to my personality and my inner aspirations.
I have been attracted to drawing, painting and poetry since I was very young. After an intense professional start, I have been enjoying the joy of the art of watercolour for about 30 years.
Day after day, I go on exploring watercolors and its endless secrets.
My favorite themes are portraits, flowers and landscapes : the themes change, the homage to the life and beauty of man and nature remains the guiding thread of my achievements: my corner of eternity!

Watercolour? A party bursting from the inside, an infinite story of love and passion.
Nothing but a game, but solemn, meaningful, image of the state where life is tenderness, sweetness, transparency and light, celebrating someone, something by representing him in his purest state, discarding the weaknesses, the daily life, to draw from the depth of consciousness, heart and soul, the materials that will crystallize on the paper when pigment and water bring them to the day.
