I started painting from my childhood: on cardboard, fabrics, whatever I found. As a teenager, I met writers, musicians and the painter Toffoli who was beginning to be known. For them, I was their “young friend” fascinated by their creations; one of these people had offered me the book "Letters to a young poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke as a subject of reflection on the importance of art in life, but also on patience and sometimes the inevitable doubts before being able to write or create often in a certain solitude.

Later, while living in Montmartre, I rubbed shoulders with painters who taught and inspired me a lot.

My great favorite painters have always been Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso.

Gauguin : for the richness of his palette, the subtlety of his colors with sometimes daring combinations. Especially during his life in the Marquesas (apotheosis of exoticism). This painter arouses emotions with his infinite ranges of colors which he plays as a musician would with his notes.

Matisse : with his orientalism and his profusion of works with interiors with flamboyant fabrics and an abundance of materials and colors.

Picasso : an extraordinary creative force, from the subtlety of his blue and pink period to his research for cubism, he is the king of experimentation and even if I do not subscribe to everything he produced, works often related to his love life, I particularly like his portraits of Dora Maar.

But Renoir also enchants me like most Impressionists. He is truly the painter of happiness.

I also like the originality of Dali and his fertile surrealism.

I have a deep admiration for the great Italian masters of the Renaissance like Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli or Caravaggio.

Art in all its forms (music, painting, theatre, poetry, etc.) is the expression of our experience, our emotions or our dreams.

It helps to sublimate our lives while connecting us to our divine vibration.

For my part, my ambition is just to bring joy to the hearts of those who come across my colorful paintings.
