Interests and Personality
| Biography | French painter, born in 1952 in Versailles. Coming from a long line of French artists . A great admirer of Gandhi and of other spiritual and peaceful men, I lived more than a year in India, where I distributed food in Bangladesh, i met and learned from 2 Ghandi's still living disciples, I also worked in Bombay in a team of international architects, designing, building, temples shrines and guests houses.
The compositions and themes in my paintings are related to a creative and as much as I can peaceful outlook on life.
I am recently working on paintings that are confronting our way of life, I may convey my vision of a world that is not as free and peaceful as I would like it to be. I graduated from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Appliquee in Paris in 1972 as an interior designer. I studied 5 year deeply Art History, and i am currently active as an Art Coach, an artist and working with gps software.
