le ponton enchanté Painting

I was born in 1966 in Mont de Marsan (France). As a child, I discovered during long walks in the countryside and at the edge of the Atlantic ocean that nature is an infinite source of emotions ans a way of escaping the daily newspaper. Many years afterwards, I find in Brittany this feeling of freedom in a country where traditions, wild nature and forces of the elements merge and grow rich to offer a disconcerting spectacle, at the same time melancholic and violent.From dark blues to luminous ocres, nature and its imperceptible power are my source of inspiration. Only nature knows how to make each instant so that it will never repeat itself in the same place. By my painting I want to translate my emotions facing each moment, the energy of the sea, the wave witch craches against a cliff a rainy Sunday afternoon. Effects of matter and colour create an atmosphere propitious to express the impressions of melancholy and violence.Hot colours and lights collide in an atmosphere sometimes of violence, sometimes of mistery.The ambience of my paintings leads towards melancholy, invite to daydreaming, and in most cases transports you into another world, a world of nature and diversity
