Let the gaze be constantly enchanted by the spectacle of nature.

Having travelled through the world from one end to the other, and intoxicated myself with the infinite wealth of colours I have seen, I translated those imprinted visions onto canvasses.

Keeping only a few essential forms of my overall perceptions for a composition, I embellish them with my imagination.

As a self-taught artist, this is the inner need to which I have been responding for more than twenty years.

Acrylic paint has been my preferred medium. The works are executed in rapid and intuitive gestures, with a brush and a knife, in light layers, sometimes even transparent but occasionally bold & thick, guided by freedom rather than conventions.

I hope my paintings give you as much visual delight as they did me in the process of creating them.
