Colors are not only the matter which allows to create a pictural image, to visualize art ideas, emotions and experiences, but are also a medium in which I present, where my emotions are reflected and where inner energy is synthesized. The palete is wide open and enriched with new colorful combinations, layering, synthesizing, streaming and owerfolowing. It gets stronger with positivism and annealing. The color, which is the core art element of painting, is also the source of energy. I translatet it from inner self onto painting surfaces and like that, I gives in artwork exceeding value, special power and mission, energizing effect and donfirmed healing influence. My paintings reach beyond aesthetic experiences and messages. They become a beautiful and pleasant art intended for the good of manking. I am self-taught artist, my workshop is situated in Geneva. I present a series of works in oil, called " LEVITATION ". As a starting point, the white sheet, and universal common object that contains all possible. I model with my hands abstract forms, often misty, sometimes compressed. The moment of a photograph, I capture and freeze the aesthetic, the movement of an ephemeral work. I then use the oil painting, my favorite medium, inspired by the traditional painting and photorealism. Transparency, opacity, texture, are obtained by successive layers of glaze and by adding material. I transcribe unique shapes on monochrome backgrounds. The use of contrasts and composition reinforce the idea of feeling, of timeless and precious object. By lines and colors each work invites us on a personal imagination. I believe that all the creation has its own life. I consider Art as freedom ... My proposal is to make a refined approach exploring the blurry boundary between Identity and Experience, as well as my insightful exploration of Nature's beauty establishes a deep involvement with the viewers, both on an emotional aspect and on an intellectual. The fact of living in the tropics has allowed me to enjoy a wide range of colors generated by the sun throughout the day. It is magical appreciating the game of lights and shadow through the vegetation, enjoing the nuances painted in the sky at sunrise or sunset behind our stunning and peaceful Caribbean Sea. Art for me is beauty, magic and life. I think our expressions of art should bring possitive changes and if that happens in us, our duty is to spread it to others to experience these changes and thus a chain of solutions is generated, especially in children who have a future ahead.
