Reflections after 9/11 Painting

I was born in Paris. My parents were of mixed nationalities. I moved to New York when I was 1. Since that early age I have always been interested in the colours of the world and the diversity of cultures. My recent work is a reflection on these transient aspects of humanity and their effects upon the environment, be it ecological, social or political. My aim is to create a setting from which emerges a sense of unreality allowing the viewer to chose his own interpretation. The majority of my present work is oil on wooden board or oil on canvas, both applied with a knife allowing a physically dynamic interaction between the emerging artwork and myself.
