Presentation
Born in 1948, he has been painting since his adolescence. At the same time, he had a long career as a finance official, particularly internationally. Since 2011, he has devoted himself exclusively to painting in his studio in Nîmes where he lives. Vibrant energy. I work on the shock and harmony of colors, on the breath and the circulation of energy. With knives, using brushes, I try to master this spontaneity by organizing figurative forms on the canvas in a naive and abstract vision. After making a first painting, I look at it for days or weeks. I meditate in front of this painted canvas, I hesitate. When the vision finally emerges, I take it again: work of superimposing the layers until the color is saturated in the space. From travels, missions, from my old lives, the violence and misery of the world, I only remember the beauty of multiple worlds through cities, rivers, beaches, ports, strange ships, Chinese fleets sailing in the memory of the Mediterranean, Indochinese, South American or Haitian world, sometimes even through the ages.
