Brought up in the love of arts, it is for my adolescence that I began to express myself more and more by drawing and painting. I attented several art workshops in Paris where I lived during some years but I am, before all, self taught, preferring to research, observe and learn from the nature of the world around me and inside me. Coming back in Brittany (north west region of France), I launched into showing my creations, first of impressionist and figurative styles, wishing to set some fleeting moments down on canvas, feelings I was living in close contact with nature... then a more symbolic and visionary style. Inspired by the philosophy and mysteries of life and light, my painting tells the eternal story of humanity, through myths and legends, dreams and visions... or simply the vibration of a beautiful sunset or the harmony, tranquil enjoyment and infinite colors of a summers day... I work mainly with oils but may sometimes work with other materials or techniques in accordance with my inspiration of the moment.
