BIOGRAPHY

Complete biography in "News"

After 15 years of musical practice ( cello, singing) in orchestra and chamber music, string quartet, but also in prenatal singing, painting imposes itself on me

My approaches in sophrology, lithotherapy, Tai Chi, then allow me to create relaxation workshops around the vibrations of my cello (opening of the chakras) then opening an artistic expression workshop combining relaxation, music, painting etc

For 20 years, I have felt very close to ancient Chinese philosophy where the painter becomes a contemplative hermit to find his way, not afraid to take unusual paths to nourish the Spirit and find his inner strength. It's a long learning process to achieve this sensitivity, refine your feelings, awaken your senses.

I work for beauty, peace, serenity, harmony, spirituality.

For me, the artist's mission is to sow seeds, to bring out the creative spark that we all have deep within us. The artist is in search of the absolute. Creation is a moment of grace but a long work on oneself is necessary before offering the world the fruit of this experience. I paint standing, in the axis which connects sky and earth and becomes a channel, crossed by something larger than me.

Nature and plants arrive on earth with the memory of Light. Man arrives on earth with oblivion and he has to gather these sparks of Light to build himself and awaken.< /p>

Music accompanies each of my paintings: Bach, Handel, Mozart. However, silence imposes itself on me more and more in creation.

CREATIVE PROCESS< /em>

My work in painting does not belong to a school or an artistic movement. It is the fruit of my life journey, of 35 years of research and work in different fields that lead me to discover myself and find the meaning of my life.

I start by working on funds in a way intuitive and fun. A ritual accompanies my journey.

Then I meditate in front of the funds for hours, weeks, until the form takes shape. imposes itself. I learn to look with the eyes of the soul which seeks to express itself freely. My painting comes to me and we tame each other. #039;autre. Only then does the adventure and the birth of the work begin. Each feature is born millimeter by millimeter and the character is embodied in spite of me. This stage is done with a lot of hindsight because it can very quickly change, disappear forever and the meeting does not take place. It's like a meditative dance around this background, I constantly move forward and backward to give birth to it. Each trait is first felt in my heart and it is only when it is right in my body that it becomes right on paper. If I force it, it becomes ;escapes and the painting falls into nothingness.

It’s a work with the magical and sacred part of Life.
