The fragile moment when two opposing worlds meet in harmony, in the unsuspected softness of contrasts. A sumo wrestler, symbol of strength and greatness, leans with moving delicacy towards a mischievous little cat. This painting, filled with tenderness and subtle nuances, invites reflection on the coexistence of opposites in a dance of colors and emotions. Oil painting on linen canvas mounted on wood panel. Matching frame.

Perfectly self-taught: independent by nature, I learned the craft, alone but with my easel, by tenacity, passion ... and self-criticism. I had to reinvent by empiricism the techniques of the great painters, to experiment endlessly the mixtures of colors, contrasts, shadows and lights. I gradually personalized my work using pure, superimposed, fluid colors on patterned relief structures. My nature spontaneously led me to the curve, my subjects of predilection were from the beginning focused on female models. Nudes, portraits or still lives, my works carry an undeniable imprint of femininity.
