Advertising graphic designer, fascinated by this job, I draw since the childhood. The techniques of artistic expression acquired during my studies or within the framework of an evening class join naturally and spontaneously to the themes which I like approaching. Portraits translate the feelings that inspire me the represented persons, on the artistic, emotional or intellectual plan. The landscapes, often evoke a particular perception, rarely the simple aesthetics of the place. The nature, the myths and the historic facts are a source of inspiration. Finally the drawing, the painting or occasionally the photography, allow me to share sensations, impressions, mental images which occur me. Meeting on my visitors' book and thank you for your visit...
