L'arbre rouge (2020) Photography by Mc Devésa

I started drawing very young (evening classes at the Beaux-Arts in Aix en Provence and Marseille Luminy, France) then I discovered pastel before developing a few years later my creativity with oil painting (1986). I then opted for acrylic, a medium which is perfect for me. Influenced by Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) whom I have admired for a long time, I love geometric abstraction from which astonishing vibrations emerge. I sometimes mix the figurative with the abstract depending on my emotions at the moment. Portraits also fascinate me, painting a face on canvas is a great satisfaction for me, I get closer to the people I love and admire. Since 2019, I have been painting Byzantine icons at the Atelier d'Arts Anciens Valuarda, Montreal.

Also passionate about art history, I am continuing my studies since 2015 at the university (UQÀM- Montréal), this allows me to better understand the world of the arts by discovering the spiritual, cultural, theoretical, economic and social context of art.
Influences: Van Gogh, Mondrian, Wesselmann, O'Keefe, Molinari
