This is a view of the British Raj Residency in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh). I had the chance of visiting the ruins of the Residency in 2017.
The remains of the Residency have been maintained as they resulted from the terrible siege of 1857. Shattered walls are still scarred by cannon shot, ever since Indian Independence, little has changed. The ruined building is now surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds, a cemetery nearby shelters the graves of 2,000 men, women and children. including that of Sir H. Lawrence who commanded the British forces. His epitaph reads "Here lies the son of Empire who tried to do his duty".
I tried to convey in this simple painting an atmosphere of quietness at night.

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.
