*** WINNER of the Art House Online Gallery Portrait Award May 2020 ***

I am a Paris based french artist, passionate about portraits & persian miniatures. The depth of human emotions is a fascinating source of inspiration for me. The portrait is a way of transmitting my emotional reaction as a testimony of the world around me, of humanity, and indeed mirror, ultimately, ourselves. My goal is to create through each painting, an atmosphere in which the viewer is brought to feel the expression of the subject, but also is invited to find his own perception of this reality.

I recently discovered persian miniature, a depiction of paradise full of poetry and spirituality. What immediately seduced me was the timeless and paradisiacal vision of the miniature: fabulous gardens, silver rivers, golden skies, shimmering colors, mythological birds, musicians and dancers... It is an art that requires precision and harmony in composition, design and color. After having created the frame before composing, the artist opens a window to another world and has the possibility to express his symbolic vision of a marvelous world of legend, poetry, love and even mystical transfiguration.
