Après-midi d'été Painting

My art is intended for living spaces and the people who actually live in them. Here you can discover my canvas, halfway between abstract and figurative. I always use mixed media (collage, paint, ink, pastels...). I wish my art will enter your home, settle in your sitting room, move into your kitchen and surprise you at the corner of a corridor. I wish it will take you away without leaving your couch, make you dream sitting before your coffee cup, and smile at lunch time. My artistic affinities and tastes are various and eclectic. I like the light in Turner's work, the power of colorful vibrations coming from De Staël's thorough compositions, Joan Mitchell's explosive freedom, Gerhard Richter's technical mastery and the extent of his work, at times figurative and at times abstract. The artistic movements which influence my art are mainly abstract expressionism and lyrical abstraction, in particular Zao Wou-Ki's art for his work on light, transparency and opacity and the alternation between fullness and emptiness. Combining colors and natural elements is a recurring source of inspiration and my favorite subjects are nature and landscapes.
