Chromobscur paintings

What the chromobscur?
This is the name I gave to my painting because it refers to the chiaroscuro technique well known by the painters of the 17th century in Europe but also to bright and rich colors that flood my paintings and so the light without resorting to chromatic techniques of impressionism.
