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.

For more than 40 years I have been committed to helping others find their own creativity, whether it be my sons, my grandchildren or my students, big and small in school settings or during workshops.

I hope that my paintings inspire others to create for themselves. I mean creating in a broad sense. Because the human being truly grows when he is an autonomous and free creator.
