Palms swaying in the air,
dates hanging from branches,
heavy and sweet.

From childhood on,
a love has stayed true,
for palms reaching toward blue skies,
for desert roads where heat runs high,
then suddenly softens as you pass by.

An oasis appears, where the desert ends,
a ribbon of river
that bends and bends.

Green along the water, life returning near,
a quiet miracle becoming clear.

Some whimsy, some wonder, and a whole lot of romance.\n\nYume means dream, a place where imagination blooms, a little piece of one captured here.

“Nongkrong” – in Indonesian language “relaxing & hanging out with friends”. At the time I was a student in Indonesia. We sat together with friends having coffee and talking. “Nongkrong” is all about the pleasures of sharing time with friends.

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.

Nature’s beauty is a source of inspiration to me. Nature gives me the showers that clears my mind and clears my thinking. Nature teaches to be patient. It teaches me how much caring and nurturing it requires. It’s a lot like love.

Sunsets are painted by loved ones.\n\nThe mountains are touched by the last warm light of the day. Each sunset is a reminder that beauty can be found in letting go.\n\nThe fading colors seem to whisper of hope, wonder, and new beginnings.\n\nAnd tomorrow, there will be a new day waiting to unfold.\n\nIn that fleeting moment between light and darkness, there is peace.

Within their green depths,
I find her strength, her softness,
and the mystery of who she is.

A quiet green gaze,
holding a story,
a feeling, a soul.

À mes yeux,
tout est poésie.

J'aime romantiser la vie.

To me, everything is poetry,
and I love to romanticize life.

Beauty lives in the little things,
in fleeting moments,
gentle light,
and lovely details,
always finding reasons,
to be grateful and hopeful,
embracing life with wonder.

And she looks like the moon,
so close and yet so far,
following her own intuition,
enchanting like a blue moon.

Painted on linen
with a soft Japanese brush,
every imperfect stroke,
every small imperfection,
celebrates quiet serendipity.

This is where the magic lives.

As part of this mini-series “Tendre terre” is inspired by the Japanese concept “wabi sabi” which is about the perception of beauty. Accepting the transient nature of life, authenticity serves as a focus point of wabi sabi cherishes the cracks and imperfections. They symbolize the passage of time and loving use. Love as the antidote to a throwaway society built on disposable goods and mass-produced homogenous items.

I love wild flowers. They are growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would.

Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun.

Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom. A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance.

Let's be like wildflowers. Not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain.

Soft like blush, yet wild at heart. Dancing freely in the wind.
Let's be like wildflowers.

Éclat du Matin
In the silence of morning,
the sun begins to rise,
and the day still lies before her,
open, untouched.

In delicate lace, bathed in the dawn,
thoughts crisp and fresh as the morning light.

With mystery in the unknown,
and a heart turned toward the day to come,
filled with fresh insights,
for often, it becomes beautiful,
exactly as it arrives.

Drawn on the back of an old love letter, typed long ago.\n\nThe paper carries its own story, in faded colours, wrinkles, and worn edges, quietly holding the mystery of another time

The leaf of a king palm tree, elegant and full of grace.\n\nThe first time I saw one, I immediately fell in love with its shape and form, so simple, yet so beautiful.

Powder-soft in color,
she wakes beneath magnolia light,
wrapped in silk and morning haze.

Petals drift like memory through her hands,
a quiet return to her own becoming.

In stillness she turns back inward,
listening to her inner voice.
The answers are within,
and beauty rises there, unseen.

×Tiny

She stands there by the sea,
surrounded by a world of emerald green,
as though time itself paused
just to look back at her once more.

A soft salty wind
moves through her hair,
carrying the scent of the ocean
through lush and living nature.

Everything around her breathes so wild,
green, untamed beauty.
And there she is, quiet and luminous,
like a memory the earth refused to forget.

Inspired by traditional Japanese landscapes,
this painting invites the viewer to lose themselves
in the stillness, the space, and the breath between peaks.
Each layer fading into the next,
like memories softened by distance.

The desert moves,

sand and wind

around her.

Her gaze is serene,

a quiet place

within.

She follows

the sun above

and the whispering wind.

Ethereal Passion

Softly woven petals
opening like secrets.
They reach, they wander,
they find the sun in their own way.

A longing to feel,
to truly connect.

There’s something wild about them,
something honest.
They bloom bold,
but only for a while.

Passion flowers,
almost not of this world -
fragile, almost floating,
like morning mist in gentle sunlight.

Ethereal passion,
it comes in moments,
in small, beautiful things.
A flower, a breath,
the way light moves through leaves.

Not loud, just real.
