About The Artwork
"Sous les pavés… la plage": "under the cobblestones… the beach" This sentence was one of the slogan made by French students revolutionists in 1968; Students from the famous university "La Sorbonne". This is a realist representation of the "Grand Palais" in Paris and the famous bridge of "Alexandre III" What do you see under the cobblestones? Paris is a beautiful bourgeois old lady, shiny under the sun. When I paint Paris I do it differently than New-York or London because it's the way I feel about it. I won't use the bright colours of London nor the craziness and exuberant brush of New-York, I'll paint Paris as something very realistic, close to a photograph because for me, Paris doesn't move, especially this part of the city near the Champs-Elysées with a typical architecture. Paris lacks that friendly craziness and bright colours.

French figurative painter known for bold colourful urban landscapes. Member of society of SALON D'AUTOMNE Paris Member of the Taylor Foundation, Paris Feb. 2023 PARIS (salon Les Artistes Français) March 2023 : LONDON :THE OTHER ART FAIR August 2023: TOKYO ART CENTER, JAPAN Born in the outskirts of Paris. I live and work in Paris suburbs. Living in a big city for half my life has influenced my work. I have a fascination for cities: noisy, overwhelming and lively, yet hiding people loneliness. I paint mostly urban landscapes: the interiors (shops, cafe, theatre house) full of details and colourful with very few details for the people: they are just part of the scenery. I’ve worked for the theatre for ten years and that experience gave me a love of colours, of framing my subject a certain way. I’m not looking for the exact repliqua of the reality but for an emotion I want to convey in my paintings through colors. My work is made of lots of layers of acrylic on a canvas, quick rough brush strokes and vivid colours. I use acrylic because it’s a medium that corresponds to my character: I’m impatient and this material suits me for it allows my painting a speed, a raw aspect, sometimes violent; I work in a kind of urgency.
