Article
Influenced very early by the impressionists (Monet, Corot, Frank Boggs..) it does not have of cease to be exerted in art to play with the light. Its painting and the choice of its reasons is very directed towards mineral and the plant. The ground, the stone, the tree and the forest, sometimes associated water are elements which one constantly finds in his works. Recently it works with Claudine HERNANDEZ with the realization of works in "binomial", a diverting originality, which enables him to share their emotions on the reason.
