"Back to the village"... ' '55 x 38 cm'
Passionate about drawing from a very young age, I started painting as a teenager and this "hobby" became an integral part of my life. I am taking some painting courses to acquire some technique, devotes long moments immersed in art books. I discovered naïve art very early on with Haitian painters, the Yugoslav school or the Douanier Rousseau, and I immediately felt that I belonged to this movement: "The Enlightened of Instinct".
Naive painting is a humble, spontaneous painting that leaves a huge place for imagination and is not imprisoned with strict respect for technique. It is free and fully corresponds to my vision of things: it provides happiness, frees peace and harmony.
When I sit in front of my canvas and my tubes of color, I disconnect from the real world and enter a dreamlike universe where I let myself go for hours. My naïve painting appeals to a small remnant of innocence from childhood and which I knew how to preserve. It is my passion and if sometimes I participate in exhibitions to share with others, my goal is above all to "travel" in imaginary lands that I create with my palette and my brushes.
