Biography - Work
I was born in 1943 in Belgian Lorraine, in a sort of “hobbit” village where everyone knows everyone, which creates a precarious balance between advantages and disadvantages.
I now live in Arlon, the capital of the province of Luxembourg, a Roman city and the oldest city in Belgium.
Like all children, I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil, unlike most, I never abandoned it like a toy that had become trivial and replaced it with toys considered serious and suitable for the age we call adult.
After lackluster studies in Greco-Latin with my fathers, I followed the marginal path of the visual arts, a passion that I subsequently tried to pass on by accompanying young people who felt called to the same path in life.< br />
My career as a teacher ended in 2004. Since then, I have taken the time to devote myself almost exclusively to painting, which allows me to honor my imagination and my freedom with more fidelity and freedom than during my career as a teacher. 'teacher.
I exhibit regularly in different regions of France: Mont-Dore in Puy-de-Dôme, Pau, Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat near Limoges, Lamballe in Brittany, Grand Palais in Paris (Art en Capital), Nancy, Sedan… but also in Austria and Germany.
My first paintings were already situated in this movement that can be described as fantastic realism, an inner necessity from which a few abstract and expressionist experiences did not succeed in diverting me.
This trend takes on two complementary aspects in my work, one manifested by the landscape, the other by the portrait.
Through the landscape I express my wonder at the power of incessant creation that nature possesses. The places are not described externally as the lens of a camera would do better than me, but with the interior gaze, that which thanks to the distance of memory and insinuating itself through the filter of sensitivity only retains the essential. Above all, I feel drawn to places that open up to immensity like so many springboards towards the cosmos, vast expanses, oceans, mountains... those which “remind man of his verticality”.
The portraits are sarcastic when they depict characters inflated with pride and vanity, they are tender in front of beings inhabited by the passion for their work, most of the time in love with a job well done. It was a long time ago before the days of quick work.
