Artist Statement:

Painting takes me to a wakeless level of uncovered and unhidden emotions. As I paint, I plunge into a world I envision with a mixture of present feelings, emotions, new forms and textures. Vibrant deep colors are often found in my paintings. Like forms and textures, they also represent mood and emotions.
One of the recurring themes in my paintings is nature accompanied with the color emerald which, to me, expresses beauty, exoticism, and passion. I combine abstraction, realism and idealism that ultimately result to the prominent textures in my paintings. Because of the strong bond I feel I have with nature, I have included and will always include an element of it in my art.
Moreover, I find that my paintings tend to evoke the following: eccentricity, joy, emotion, fascination, conversation piece. In addition, I feel my paintings are heavily influenced by my French-Caribbean background with their bold shapes, mystic forms and dark yet vigorous colors.
My paintings are results of accumulated dreams and feelings envisioned with different forms, colors and textures, which let me venture to a fantastic and awe-inspiring journey that entails freeing and exposing my soul.
