About The Artwork

I'm a feet-on-the-ground person, with my head in the stars. This character is represented in my painting: lots of layers of acrylic on a canvas, quick rough brush strokes, sometimes violent, vivid colours. I do not want to reach a realism but an atmosphere: I paint what I see, the harsh reality around me in the shape of a building, of a person; then I transform it to keep an atmosphere. I love movies, theatre plays, music and novels, I've been nourished with that and my painting reflect that culture. Sicily is a restaurant in a chic area of London, UK Dating probably from the Victorian area, this painting is a symbol of the opposition between two worlds: the rich and famous and the workers. Two separated worlds. The opposition is characterized by a strong powerful choice of red colors on the building enhanced by the quasi monochrome milky white of the skies and the greyish emptiness of the street. The strength of the Victorian workers is shown by the rough paint strokes that is synonym of my work. There is a smooth, false immobility in the painting, hiding a real violence. protected by acrylic varnish white ribbon frame on the sides

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.
