Self-taught painter for ten years, artistic expression has been in me since my childhood. Following a family breakup, the need to express my emotions became obvious. The painting becomes like a free expression of my deeply buried feelings.

Since then, I have been developing my technique in oils and especially acrylic, mainly using bright colors. Fire colors are the hues that characterize me best, illustrating my joie de vivre and my dynamism through a rather abstract imprint that is unique to me.

I am often inspired by my travels and my environment. My hypersensitivity to the world around me influences my creation. Sometimes I like to take my time, weeks, months, to make a painting. But more often than not, I indulge my instant emotions and spontaneity by throwing the paint on the canvas with a dynamic gesture. In a few minutes the material worked with a knife reveals my creation of the moment.
