Re-creations of Old Masters
"I am passionate about Old Masters.
Throughout my career, I learnt the techniques of the great artists, but also their art and some of their secrets.
This continuel passion has familiarised them to the point of allowing me,
when I replicate their works, to customise them,
adding a personal touch according to my own sensitivity and creativity.
But, in all humility, creating exact copies of the paintings is just as satisfying as is the discovery of the infinite subtleties that these works inspire in me."
Landscapes and Still-life Painting
My work on landscapes or still-life is an unending quest for the play of light
between the elements that make up the painting. I capture the vibration of the air
and the quivering of nature that I mold in a rich luminous matter.
I get immense pleasure from portraying these subtle plays on light.
