| About me and my artwork: |
I am 65 years old and I have done 29 exhibitions.
I am born in Lausanne (Switzerland) where I did work as an accountant during numerous years. Actualy with my dutch wife we are living in a lonely house, on the edge of a wild forest, in Ollon (Switzerland).We have had two children.
A striking event in my painter's life: in 1987 an amateur bought all the 41 paintings of one of my exhibitions. And this just before the varnishing day!
I am painting mostly different kinds of animals of big sizes moving in a completely unusual environment. The juxtaposition of excessive worlds from which the unusual of the situation should induce the amazement.
