About me

Since mid-2023, I have turned to digital art. "Your pictures are different now, but better in terms of vibrancy ... it promotes the mental movie theater" writes one of my readers.

Everything I have created in painting now benefits me. It now comes together in digital art:

The play of light and shadow is still at the center of my naturalistic painting.

In digital painting, I use a pen that allows me to paint directly on an iPad. The pen gives me access to many digital brushes that differ in shape, texture and opacity. I can vary the size as I wish.
