Artist Statement
Through compositions evoking innocence with a touch of symbolism and whimsical twists, my paintings invite the viewer to step into a pictorial universe where colours and emotions are magnified. I use the transformative prism of art to create a paradoxical energizing and peaceful world, aiming for the emotional impact artists such as David Hockney or Yayoi Kusama have on me. My fascination for vibrant palettes, storytelling and childhood stagings was deepened by a 30-year stay in Asia. I paint with oil, a medium I have always associated with silk and which has led me to ever-increasingly explore the fusion of color and composition.
