I like to paint light and nature. My garden, all gardens. I think that deep inside me, each time I work on a subject, I relive a walk in the garden of my childhood where it seemed there was always sunshine! Light is what matters to me most because light is life! Light in colour but also in movement. Giving the illusion of speckles of sunlight on the path leading to the garden is to launch an invitation to enter the picture.

It's hard to explain but certain subjects inspire certain formats without me knowing exactly why. It's instinctive.
When I work on small canvas there is a more intimate representation, conversely I move towards greater abstraction on large formats. The large format also allows a form of immersion in the work, during its creation for me in the process and also in its place that it finds in the mind of the viewer.
My work took a big turn in 2005 when I realized that light itself could lead me to a form of abstraction. After observing the reflections through stained glass projected on the floor of a small chapel, other colors were added to my palette and modified my work. All shades of blue are inseparable from my work and what would I do without red?
