If the animals have always been predominating, in my art work, I have approached eagerly many other subjects. All that artistic search took me back on the expression and emotion quest. Therefore, I feel like a portraitist. I see no difference in painting a dog, a monkey or a human. Certainly figurative, my art explore my models from inside and tend to become their soul mirror… as much as their aesthetic representation.
Horses have been my favorite inispiration for many years. Then, my passion for the dogs and my implication into the dog world pushed me to work and represent them… especially the afghan hounds, that I have been my faithfull companions for many years.
My art work has been enthusiastly received. Very quickly, I developped some artistic projects in France and mostly abroad. My paintings are represented in 70 different countries, on the 5 continents. Several art galleries present my work regularly in Europe, Asia, Australia and America. Every year, I take part to 3 or 4 fairs abroad (USA, UK, Germany, etc.), where I exhibit my work. In the meantime, I have also collaborate to several collective artistic project, like kid books and comics illustrations
Since a few years, most of my time and my energy are dedicated to my art.
