Artist Biography

I felt the need to create and the taste for pictorial works from an early age. Around 23 years old, to satisfy my desire for knowledge, I enrolled at the Ecole d'Arts Plastiques de Narbonne where I followed the courses from 1978 to 1986 under the benevolent guidance of two artists: William Moulin and Roland Gril.

I will gradually become familiar with different techniques such as watercolor, charcoal, sanguine, acrylic painting, and take pleasure in painting or drawing various subjects: still lifes, landscapes in situ, characters, portraits.

It is in prestigious museums that I recharge my batteries and nourish my imagination by contemplating Chagall or Monet's water lilies. To let oneself be taken away by Matisse's dance or to question Magritte's imagination is jubilant, as well as to invest the worlds of Andy Warhol or Lichtenstein. Locally, I visit the hamlet of the lake in Sigean, the "Aspirateur" in Narbonne and the exhibitions of regional artists.

I will take part in the creation of an Arts Festival in Coursan which will animate the city from 1994 to 1997, then in the life of the Aux Z'Arts association in the same city from 2002 to 2004.

At the beginning of my artistic career, I used exclusively watercolour: "still life with eschsoltzias" is a first work. Then I will work on the oil painting in thickness, with a spatula, then "the bullfight" will be born, an example of this experience. I create "breathe" in calligraphy then I discover digital art and it is a new happiness. The latter puts at my disposal an inordinate range of tools to wander towards unknown horizons and offer new emotions.
