My paintings are known for my use of rich exoticism, images that reflect my memories from my tropical experience. Imagery from the source of all imaginary are executed with amazing sophistication and concentrated into monumental emblems and effects of pure color, independent natural appearances on a radical simplification of forms. My work has come to possess a freedom of movement, spontaneity and gentleness inspired by the color of the Fauves (Henri Matisse) and the archetypes of the Naïve art (Henri Rousseau). Elements of Cubist and Surrealist art seem blended, offering a refreshing and youthful version of the abstract, rich in modern symbolism combined with many elegant touches of the classical school. We are all part of nature. We are universally connected to our environment and the idea of landscape. My new works addresses that interconnectedness. “Tropical Vegetation” is my paradise, a beautiful place where everybody is welcome. I am inviting you to dream. It’s never too late to talk about the past or to do what we haven’t done yet. The most surrealistic dream can bring stability to our society.
