I know the keyword for Art today is “DISTURBING”. The whole Earth is disturbed.
I don’t fel the need to join in as a further disturbing factor.
I aspire for my art to be soothing, empowering, healing, inspiring.
I wish that my paintings may have the power to touch and move people’s heart.

~PLAY THE ENCHANTMENT~

Art is for me like a magical Bridge between the Visible and the Invisible.

I paint natural or supernatural creatures, often inspired by folklore, myths and fairy tale, with oils, acrylics, or mixed media.In my works, I try to transmit love and respect for innocence, and my attraction to the mysterious and to what is hidden and layered.
Unlike the colleagues who choose to focus on the current things to criticize or denounce, I prefer, for my part, to concentrate on subjects which make me happy, digging my way down to the ancient roots of history, and tapping in the most atemporal dimension I manage to access : I aim for my paintings to be as timeless as it is in my power to make them. I enjoy to explore the magical, often forgotten, aspects of reality : a dimension of mystery and play, harmony and peace, still existing even though often well hidden under mundane happenings and in daily life.
A. de St.-Exupéry said ‘The essential is invisible to the eyes’. I think my task as a painter is ‘to find the essential’, and make it visible for everyone who wants to see it.

“THE GUARDIANS”

I often like to depict characters which look “scary” at a first approach and which, when seen without prejudices, reveal a positive aspect of wisdom, compassion, or protection, and of transformation of the negative into positive.
I am fascinated by the figure of the Guardian, which is inherently good and protecting, but which has also a scary, terrible aspect: it has to scare away what threatens its protégé, so it must have claws and teeth to defend what is good, wise, innocent.
