Artist Statement -

Painting has always been a passion. For the longest time I did not want to depart with my artwork.I love to paint everything that is exotic like orchids,tropical flowers, exotic fish...Through the years,I developped my own technique. Liking the fluid effects of watercolors but not the glass, I work on a fabric canvas on which I let liquid acrylic, watercolors and sometimes inks do their work for the background and inspiration for the structured elements in the foreground. The result is one of vibrant colors and stunning contrast.The final artwork does not require a glass.I have been working intensively to build my career for a number of years now. The road is long and arduous. You need a lot of confidence in your work, perseverance and patience to be successful in this business. Communications and exchanges with other artists helped me to situate myself and computer knowledge has brought me international exposure through my Canadian and American website. From these came international exhibitions, stimulating comments, participation to extraordinary events and sale of my paintings around the world.

My marine scenes are the most popular. No surprise there as I am one of the rare artist that creates those fantastic habitats for these wonderful animals. Flowers…well I love to render their sensuality and very often sexuality…All there to be discovered.

However even if these two themes are my favorite, I continue to grow by participating in diverse workshop that excite my spirit. From those, lately all kind of new creations with more freedom and less constriction in the pure form of realism…creations that use your imagination and let you travel in fluid universe with the Japanese paper “Yupo” and the textures of the collage with Japanese papers. I am now experimenting in mixing all these techniques to go beyond the established frontiers.
I hope you will like them as much as I do…
My work is currently in galleries througout Canada and in private collections around the world.
