Biography
Attracted by drawing very early, I started with pencil drawings, then meeting with a landscape painter from Provence made me want to get into color. First gradually, I tried pastel, then gouache, acrylic paint but none of these techniques fully satisfied me. In the end, I came to oil painting, and since then, it has been difficult to get out. I also looked for what attracted me most to the landscape or the portrait, and I turned to the nudes, women in general and preferably typed.
Oil remains for me the best way to magnify the female or male body, playing with shadows and lights. The nude becomes a human landscape full of nuances. A few still lifes, or reproductions of painters from previous centuries, mix with all these women.
