“Art is, for me, a breath of life. With a paintbrush in my hands for the
past fifty years, I have been able to live off my work for the past thirty

years. Painting has allowed me to travel the globe, from my French
home to the distant land of China.”
I am a figurative painter who enjoys the quiet sceneries of Provence,
French interiors and still lifes. In my early works, color was my main
subject. With a colorful palette, I not only enjoyed contrasts but
especially the patterns of colors found in every shadows. Growing up
in the land of Paul Cézanne, I have always been in agreement with his

idea that “shadow is a color”.
