    Biography

    Artistic practice for some thirty years following the discovery of action painting and abstract expressionism through French and foreign artists who were true revelations.

    A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting one of the French pioneers of this movement, Jean Miotte, and having long discussions with him.

    Naturally, other artists of this movement shape my inspiration: Joan Mitchell, Gerhard Richter, Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Franz Kline, Sam Francis and Helen Frankenthaler, among others — too many to be all named, some just as renowned.

    Here, I present a selection of acrylic paintings and mixed media works.
