In Chandor, a village of the State of Goa, one can visit some grand Portuguese houses which have been kept in the same condition for three centuries. In these ‘hotels particuliers’ or havelis, the visitor can slip back in time as he walks through grand staircases, ball rooms, dining halls, bedrooms with four poster beds, chandeliers, mirrors, old Goan furniture and even sedan chairs. And through the windows, there are wonderful views of a tropical garden. As I came back to Europe during the covid period, I remembered these views as a dream, a dream of being secluded - not in a Paris flat - but in an old Indian haveli. And in India through a haveli’s window, one can see a tropical garden or enjoy a sea view. This 'fantasy' painting is inspired by Braganza and Pereira houses of Chandor. And can also be seen with a reference to Matisse rooms with a view in the French Riviera.

I work between the Val du Loir, Paris and India where I had been living for twenty years and from which I draw most of my inspiration. Venerable ruins, mysterious interiors, prolific jungle, shimmering colors and above all the people of India, so diverse and full of humanity.
My work comes from wandering travels throughout twenty states of India, by train, car and motorcycle. I used to make quick sketches or took photos of the scenes, events which stroke me and I transformed them into paintings when back in my studio.
Originally a business consultant, I am essentially self taught in painting but also trained by the Ateliers de la Ville de Paris. I started to show my work in India, then moved back to France. Critics see my work as non conceptual but imaginative, spontaneous and somewhat eclectic. I do draw some inspiration from Masters like Manet, Matisse, Valloton or Gauguin.
