grandfather-john.jpg (1971) Drawing by Hans Dutch Artist

I have painted, and designed, from a very young age.

In the late sixties, while in Paris, I joined the Académie des european arts moderne,

and had many expositions in Paris throughout the early seventies,

I stopped practising art for many years, but In the past few years I have taken up the brush again.

I am self taught,but studied with other painters and have studied colours, light, composition, and perspective during a long period.

My chosen subjects are quite varied and diverse, and on my paIlet. I only use a limited palet in general.this may seem old fashioned, but I try to put vibration and life into all of my paintings and drawings, and try to catch the viewer to walk inside my paintings

I want my art to touch, and move, the viewer. I strive to advance and learn each and every day.

The road is long, but the ubiquitous passion gives me a satisfaction that enables me to continue to create.

In the past years, I have had several expositions in France (Brive, Objat, Saint Yriex, Terrasson) and I am a member of several art societies (les artistes du bas limousin and l'ordre international des artistes créateurs). by invitation of Pierre Brayard

Ps. I love also to paint and design portraits and animals,flowers landscapes

many of my paintings are sold world wide Australia,America,Ireland, United Kingdom,France and Netherlands
