 Artistic curriculum :

 After painting with oil for many years, I now work with acrylics giving texture, light and emotion to scenes from here and other countries. I am always seeking for new textures, three dimension effects by superposing fine stone textures to enhance depth and perspective.  Using stone of different kinds gives richness and becomes a fascinating project. The subjects come from my passion for history and nature. Inspired by my travel trips and readings, I give way to the revival of the emotions I felt being there. For me, history is important because knowing where one comes from helps understanding where one is heading!
