Painter
Gardens, Flowers, People,
I paint gardens, flowers and people. I work in thick impasto by palette knife using pure oils. I
work in calm and silence my mind completely focuses on the painting. I love to paint on large
canvas which gives me the possibility to express myself better and offer to the viewer a
beautiful painting.
My paintings are flamboyant, vibrant while conveying a lot of calm and serenity. They
enlighten, uplift and promote in a striking way these wonderful spot of beauty that are the
Irish gardens. I give harmony and balance to forms and colours to render the Intelligence of
the Nature (green), its beauty (flowers) and Joy (colours).
I love to convey through my paintings, the beauty, the harmony, and the atmosphere of all
these gardens. I depict more than a visual feast of beauty and colours. My paintings are
vibrant and they catch the inner feeling, the personality and uniqueness of each place. The
gardener, the owner will recognize the species of their garden, and they will feel its life.
My People paintings convey joy, peace, emotion they pictured an important moment in the
lives of the subject. They are particular! They have no face, so everybody can take their place
and share this moment (travel, first date, shopping, rest, and well being...). Among them, I
depict the street musicians of Cork who give joy in streets and pubs.
I always look for partners of quality to show my paintings all around the world.

“Le Bouquet”
The bouquet is part of our everyday life; it is popular in the entire world. It is an act of
generosity, tenderness, love, peace, friendship. It is here in all the great times of Life.
Who never had offered a bouquet?
Again, flowers, I paint them in gardens, fields…and cut, imprisoned and assembled in vases
where always they radiated life, beauty, and elegance.
The bouquets sold at the florists, true magicians who arrange the flowers in extraordinary,
unexpected and stunning ways. Explosions of colours, subtle and delicate arrangements,
those offer a true visual pleasure.
From the child who picks up flowers in the garden to offer a bouquet to his mother in act of
love and tenderness, to the adult who offer a bouquet to express his love, friendship,
thanks…the bouquet is still here as a symbol of love, joy and pleasure.
