I am a French painter, I live in Cany-Barville a lively market town in Normandy near the beautiful Côte d’Albâtre. My studio overlooks the river Durdent. My work spans impressionism to abstraction. Hints of Monet and a sprinkling of Joan Mitchell. But over the years I have built my own style. I have above all a love of light and nature. Welcome to my eternal garden of colors and joy. Enjoy your visit!
Landscapes of my mind : | Nature of oxymoron : | My abstract Impressionism : | Water reflections : |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memories while painting in a state of Mindfulness where I try to relive certain moments of my life ... Memories of my childhood, happy memories, significant memories seen as abstract landscapes: all these simple yet rare things which light up our lives with a sweet warmth. | Landscapes interpreted in an abstract language where shadow and light bring a sometimes inert or sometimes moving construction of Nature. In this series, I look at the architecture of shapes and forms in a refined,reduced and contemporary form. | I call them "States of Natures Soul": It took me many years to manage to paint the emotion that my garden brings me, emotion I feel and flower's perfume I breathe ... Between impressionism and abstraction, between influences of Joan Mitchell and Claude Monet, with the force of the strokes, gesture and color, I appropriate my own language, a very personal style for a contemporary vision of my garden. Discover them in the "My works" menu at the top of this page. | From childhood memories growing up amongst the marshes and streams by the beautiful and majestic Bay of the Somme in my native Picardy , you can see here my more figurative work capturing the power and movement of breaking waves. This work has been enhanced and developed since my move to Cany-Barville on the Cote D’Albatre in Normandy, birthplace of impressionism. |
