Windows to the soul- tribute to Frida Painting

I'm a self taught and full time painter and life's lover. My work is composed of mixed media techniques on canvas, mostly painting and collages ( acrylics, oil, paper, fabric...). I seek harmony. Of the line, of the expression of my subject. I like playing with different textures, contrast between opacity and transparency, matt and glossy... Choice of colors plays a great part in this elaboration. The goal of my aproach is to suspend time, to slow down the present moment. As Henri David Thoreau wrote, « Life is too short to be in a hurry ». Taking the time to let enter onirism in the everyday life, serenity, a moment to free the imagination, to let the mind wander. As i am part french and part vietnamese, i am very inspired by asian culture. But also by great masters of the past, such as Klimt, Mucha, Gauguin, the impressionists, the preraphaelistes... And pieces of art more recent, even contemporary, often in the photography departement.
