About
I am a French artist living in London since 1980. I am essentially a painter and my work shifts between figurative and abstraction in order to explore and express what I relate to. I work with a variety of media, essentially oils for the flexibility of the medium, but also acrylics, charcoal, inks and photography. I have a fascination towards the 'soul' or the personality of people revealing itself through the eyes, which often let me explore portraiture of my imagination or those that intrigue me. I find each human being very fascinating. I also explore landscapes and city sceneries, and the composition plays an important part in my work. I frequently travel alone to find inspiration, spending many days in silence, observing, while moving from place to place.

I can replicate designs if it suits my style
