ARTIST’S PROFILE

Nature has forever been the inexhaustible source of my inspiration. A contemporary classic painter, my work is simply an emotional reaction to its splendour and beauty. Trained in the traditional atelier manner and working almost exclusively With oil, I am driven by an intense desire to capture the forms, patterns, rhythms, colour relationships and other esthetic elements underlying that beauty, and the need to “share the moment and the experience”.
