#187 Centenial park, sydney Painting

Originally from Paris and now based in Sydney, I'm a lifelong artist and member of La Maison des Artistes in Paris since 1998 . After five years of architectural studies in Paris, I enjoyed a successful 30-year international architectural career, contributing over 1300 commissioned illustrations for more than 120 clients (). In 2017, I returned to my artistic roots, completing short courses at the National Art School and The Julian Ashton Art School. Now a full-time painter, I approache my work using the problem-solving skills from my design and architectural background. My artwork includes realistic cityscapes and narrative-driven portraits. Influenced by 17th-century realist painters and modern greats like Ben Aronson and Lucian Freud, I find timeless inspiration in capturing contemporary life. I believe in the enduring universality of painting techniques, emphasizing that, while the act of painting remains constant, it's the ever-changing world around us that provides an infinite canvas for documentation
