This is another dreamed view from old Goa. I had the chance of visiting three times Tiracol Fort, an old Portuguese Fort which is built on the mouth of the Tiracol river, on the border of two Indian States, Maharashtra and Goa. In this painting, I have imagined a music room with a view on the ocean, as I remembered them with a bit of fantasy.

I had the chance of visiting three times Tiracol Fort, an old Portuguese Fort which is built on the mouth of the Tiracol river, on the border of two Indian States, Maharashtra and Goa.
In this painting, I have imagined a music room with a view on the ocean, as I remembered them with a bit of fantasy.
The young lady on the Goan divan plays the sitar, behind her is a painting of an Indian jungle.And on her right through the window one can view the sea.
As I came back to Europe during the covid period, I remembered this view of Goa as a dream, a dream of being secluded - not in a Paris flat - but in an old Indian Portuguese Fort, overlooking the Indian ocean.
In this painting, the viewer has a choice of evasion, music, the sea or the jungle. One can also see in this painting the influence of Matisse, his rooms with a view in the French riviera.

I work between the Val du Loir, Paris and India where I had been living for twenty years and from which I draw most of my inspiration. Venerable ruins, mysterious interiors, prolific jungle, shimmering colors and above all the people of India, so diverse and full of humanity.

My work comes from wandering travels throughout twenty states of India, by train, car and motorcycle. I used to make quick sketches or took photos of the scenes, events which stroke me and I transformed them into paintings when back in my studio.

Originally a business consultant, I am essentially self taught in painting but also trained by the Ateliers de la Ville de Paris. I started to show my work in India, then moved back to France. Critics see my work as non conceptual but imaginative, spontaneous and somewhat eclectic. I do draw some inspiration from Masters like  Manet, Matisse, Valloton or Gauguin.
