PRESENTATION OF MY ARTISTIC LIFE
Biography
Dreaming of painting since the age of 14, I received as a Christmas present all the necessary materials for my first steps in painting! and I only had the courage and the desire to immerse myself in it when I arrived in Grenoble in 1984, where I entered the School of BX-ARTS and the School of ARCHITECTURE of GRENOBLE in 1991 and 1994 , to become a painter and DESIGNER.
I have been painting since then and have exhibited in collective and personal exhibitions since 1995, in the provinces and in Paris, participated in the Salon des Indépendants in 2005, at the Salon d'Automne since 2014, at the "SALON DU DESSIN ET DE LA PEINTURE À l' WATER" since 2018 in ARTCAPITAL;
Since then, I have received several Prizes, Silver Medals in the provinces and in Paris...
I have several areas of inspiration but always looking for new creations, with COLOR and MATERIALS as essential elements.
The elements of NATURE, EMOTIONS, ARCHITECTURE, and ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS always carry me to FURTHER.
always looking for new experiments, techniques that I invent myself, out of curiosity and the search for possibilities...
since this year, I discover with passion the technique of working with Indian ink, black and colors, which has become for me an exciting discovery, which was very appreciated at the last "SALON DU DESSIN ET PEINTURE A L'EAU "in 2020.
this year 2022, I participated in the SALON D'AUTOMNE with a large canvas painted in oil (150 X 165 cm) "AU FOND DES ABYSSES", which was also very noticed.
In December 2022, I organized a personal exhibition at the artistic café "L'APOSTROPHE", 23 rue de la grange aux belles PARIS 10th, a set of around fifty Indian inks, mostly abstract, which will last until to January 31, 2023, and I will receive fans of my work there again on Wednesday, November 16, from 4 p.m.
I am preparing a LARGE CANVAS in linseed oil, for the future SALON D'AUTOMNE in January 2024, which will be held in the large HALLE DE LA VILLETTE, on the very present theme of our planet,
As well as a new ABSTRACT CHINESE INK for the future WATER DRAWING AND PAINTING SALON, in the GRAND PALAIS ÉPHÉMÈRE on the Champ de MARS, also IN 2024.
