  • work is carnal, rich in colour and vibrant with light.originals are to be found in the private and public collections in Europe and the United States.

 

 

On his work:
"It is hard for me to discuss my work because I don't like the idea of influencing someone by explaining my own thoughts and opinions concerning  my art. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings.
In terms of technique, I generally work on canvas prepared with at least two coats of gesso. I do a pencil sketch on paper, then on the canvas before painting with acrylic and then in oil."
