Ancien marin ayant effectué 2 tours du monde sur le porte-hélicoptères "Jeanne d'Arc" (Marine Nationale) je suis retraité. Aquarelliste autodidacte je participe à de nombreux salons d'expositions et l'été à de nombreux concours de "peintres dans la rue" dans ma région du Sud ouest de la France.
Les sujets que je peints sont reconnaissables car je pense traduire un rendu "peinture" et non pas une qualité de réalisme digne de la photo! La couleur est la partie dominante de mes aquarelles.
J'évolue dans le semi figuratif, la suggestion étant prédominante face à la réalité plutot laissé de côté! Etant un ancien marin j'ai gardé une certaine complicité avec l'eau en lui laissant la part belle dans mes créations ....
Rien ne me fait plus plaisir que de peindre et de dessiner.Si je pouvais m'y consacrer pendant 24 h de chaque jour , je le ferai!
Ma forte passion de l'aquarelle alliée au goût de la découverte de la nature et du patrimoine, m'ont entrainé vers l'univers des carnets de voyage ( 2 achevés dont un édité) Actuellement en cours mon 3° carnet relatif à mes voyages autour du monde .....
Autres sujets de passion: l'archéologie, randonnées, graphisme,photographie, spiritualité
Former Marine who made 2 trips around the world on the helicopter carrier "Jeanne d'Arc" (French Navy) I am retired. Self-taught watercolorist I participated in numerous exhibitions and fairs in the summer many competitions of "painters in the street" in my area of South west France.
The subjects I paint are recognizable because I speak rendered "paint" and not photography quality. The color is the dominant part expressive in my creations .... I evolve into semi figurative suggestion taking precedence over reality. As a former Marine I would like to keep the water with an accomplice, a major intervention in my watercolors!
Nothing makes me happier than painting and drawing. If I could do it 24 hours a day, I would! My strong passion for watercolor combined with the taste of discovering nature and heritage, led me to the world of travel books (2 including a completed published) Currently being my 3rd book on my travels around the world .....
Other areas of passion: archeology, hiking, graphic design, photography, mysticism,
