Portfolio:

Selection of paintings

Mainly large oil paintings on canvas or on fabric.
I feel expressionnist, abstract and always looking for something new.
I'm seeking ahead, like to explore further, never want to be in a routine.
Every new painting is like a new travelling experience, I think I know where I'm going at the beginning and I end up in a totally different place.
