About The Artwork

This is Christ Church's college dining room in Oxford. This dining hall has inspired Harry Potter movies. Hogwarts Hall was created after this dining room in a studio. Christ Church is also the place where Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland studied. Whatever this crazy world, the Lockdown, the health crisis and the brutality of life, I want to provide some gentle work to make you feel cozy, warm and protected... This is the point of this new series of interiors paintings. I'm looking for some cozy, comfortable atmosphere to make life nicer, far from the crazy world. I use gentle colours, made of brown-orange-yellow paint added to darker ones. The brush touches are lighter than usual; it's part of the process. I want the people to feel good with it. To feel at ease and secure. acrylic painting on stretched canvas on wooden frame, nailed on the sides: the sides are framed with a black ribbon: no need to frame ready to hang on a wall; protected by a bright acrylic varnish +delivered with an invoice and a certificate of authenticity

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.
