I love life and it inspires me to paint.  I love people, observing them, discovering their unique personality.  Nature represents an inexhaustible source of beauty.  It's this outburst towards life that I try to represent in my paintings.

My preferred subject material is painting the human body, daily life scenes and nature.  I found all this and much more in my travels.  The first time I visited Africa, I felt an irresistible attraction for the people, for their simple way of appreciating life, for their smiles, for their dignity, for their respect of nature.  Each time I return to Africa I am impressed with the strength of character of African people and their ability to provide their family with the basic needs.  I am painting the beauties of Africa through its people hoping to transmit a lasting emotion to the viewer by showing a different aspect of this continent.

Through my medium of choice, oil on canvas, I challenge myself with the old-master's technique of realism painting and the application of creativity in contemporary art.  My current artistic endeavour is to express emotion in a painting.  The ability to portray an emotional feeling between the viewer and each of my paintings, is a continuous discovery.
