This painting is inspired by a woman I met during my travels to the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Her eyes and facial expression were so captivating, so strong, so full of love. I sketched her a lot and finished this painting after coming back home to my atelier.

I love to paint female faces, eyes, their curves, their sensuality… Look at Serene and find her hidden aspects, find what lies beneath the surface.

I painted this painting on an early morning in Marrakesh at a little square, so her name is “Belle Matinée”. 

Early morning in the city. Marrakesh is waking up, sun is softly rising, the leaves of the palm trees are softly stirring. Soaking up the sounds and smells. The vegetable vendors, the donkey cards, bicycles and trucks that pass by. Soft pink morning light, so softly gleams. Beautiful morning.

This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers.

There is a magical touch imparted by the flowers and their softness. I think it has a positive influence on our minds. From printed to real flowers, let your home bloom anew with this painting.

Morning sunlight, beauty in the serenity of silence. Portraits are expressive of one’s deepest emotions, thoughts, feelings. It creates an experience that allows one to gain clarity or connect with the artwork on a deeper level.

I look out of the window. Soothing sunshine and I think of you. You linger on my mind calming peace. Soothing…

That inner calm, I open my heart to the source. Soothing…

Calming silence.

The ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

Morning dew. Mirror the magical starlight to bless our day after a peaceful night. Morning dew. In the first chill of morning light like tiny pearls upon the leaves. They make mornings a bliss…

Birds dancing in the purple coloured sky at the dawn of day, being free, being cheerful. Let's be like birds, welcoming the new day with joy.

A portrait painting of Tresor who reminds me of a picture in my grandmother’s old family photobook. When closing my eyes, I still remember all photos in there. I see the beautiful garden, the little village and those sweet memories feel like a warm hug from the past. Who does Tresor remind you of?

I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.
