Life

Art

Self-taught in most spheres of my life, I manifest my imagination through intuitively inspired works driven by reflection and a love of beauty in all things. I have always been fascinated by the mysteries of squares, circles and triangles and their role in visual composition. And blessed (or cursed?) with a boundless curiosity to understand the physical and spiritual reality in which I exist. 

Three words define me and measure my verve: reading, writing, conceptualizing. From a young age, vision, pencil and paper have manifested my imagination. And books, my passion and the doors to new worlds. Sources of inspiration giving life to alternate realms that free my spirit to visualize. 

Through my travels I discovered the urban fabric of major cosmopolitan cities with their signature skylines and cultures as well as exotic and legendary places that were the stages for epic stories.

In Hong Kong, I saw, from a high vantage point, a city populated by swarms of umbrellas scurrying along soaked boulevards; a Time Square at each intersection; and a nightlife full of atmosphere, sky-high restaurants and clubs, lights and lively markets. 

I witnessed a decomposing Manhattan of the 1980s, a vibrant art scene, and a historical tragedy to see it transform into one of today’s preeminent “global cities.”

I marvelled at Chicago’s emblematic buildings of varying styles, the modern architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as the public works of art by Chagall, Picasso and Miró. 

Paris, where I rambled its streets admiring the 19th-century urban landscape, crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the Seine. Embraced by memorable night walks in the city of lights.

In the Swiss and French Alps, I contemplated endless horizons set upon an azure backdrop so majestic that I was reduced to a particle of an experienced perfection. 

In Colombia, I revisited the tropical landscapes so eloquently recounted in Love in the Time of Cholera by the famous Nobel-prized author Gabriel García Márquez. 

In Havana, I encountered a cultured, vibrant, gifted people, and admired its Spanish colonial architecture, its baroque cathedral of San Cristóbal, the Plaza Vieja, the El Malecón esplanade, and a patina of time unique to Havana.

Tout ce vécu, ces voyages, rencontres, souvenirs et images gravés dans les recoins de mon imaginaire se conjuguent par moments inspirés pour en créer des œuvres à la fois intimes et graphiques dans leur exclamation!

Toutes ces expériences se conjuguent également vers un croisement de chemins qui m’a enfin guidé vers une exploration personnelle entre moi et ma muse. Et comme dans toutes les sphères de l’art, mon but ultime : de vous toucher, de connecter.  

Avec une justesse des plus habiles, l’artiste touche l’âme avec sa palette de couleurs, jouant à sa guise la gamme de fréquences qui font vibrer l’âme.
