I wish for this website, produced by my companion, to present and distribute my art more widely.

You can freely enjoy the medium-resolution images of the site under the CC 3.0 license or simply browse my world of 20 series including more than 600 creations including paintings, sculptures, masks, ...

You can buy an original work among those available. I will ship it to you as soon as possible.

Since my childhood, nature has made me happy, serene and creative. The kingdoms that are on this wonderful land inspire me: mineral, plant, animal and human ...

I find inspiration during gardening, in botanical walks, in searching for stones and shells, observing insects, birds and mammals, and especially when I have the chance to have real heart-to-heart conversations with people of all kinds.

I contemplate the world around me, I let it resonate in me. I find this transformed world within my soul and I bring it back to life in my paintings.

Born in Washington D.C. on October 3, 1956 to an American father and an Austrian mother, I was accompanied in the discovery of painting by a cosmopolitan family.

My father, an amateur painter, introduced me  to drawing and oil painting. Very quickly I practiced copying  some works of great masters that I saw in the many art galleries of my home town.

From the age of 13, artists in Washington, like Miriam Hapgood DeWitt occasionally guided my personal research in their studios.

Always questioning, I re-search universal archetypes. I observe nature, study diverse philosophies and meditate. Then I let go of it all and play with color and form to reveal my inner visions.

Rarely do I start with preconcieved ideas. Often I allow form to evolve out of color. At times I paint in an abstract way, other times my images are more realistic. It all depends upon the moment of inspiration.
