Artist Statement:
“In my paintings, I explore the impact of our environment on our psyche; I believe that the surroundings we create influence the way we behave. The experience of discovering a quality urban environment that stimulates all senses is always a subtle, nevertheless fantastic adventure.
My paintings reflect a voyage, a movement through space and time, a dynamic perception of our man-made environment. Through perceptions of light and shadows, depth and chromatic intensity, matching visual and auditive rhythms or contrasting textures, my intent is to signal the power of our surroundings and hopefully raise expectations in their regards.
We are shaped by these spaces as much as we shape them!”
