Catalogue Raisonné

Realism is a close ressemblance to what we perceive as real, rendering the precise details of the real thing or scene. Reality is interaction between things and scenes and the observer.

I call my style "Realistic" since I, as the observer, change the actual world around me, the world and I interact, I reveal a reality that is behind visible things.

Some have described my work as belonging to the naïve style; true in the sense that I try to simplify scenes and things in an unconventional, unsophisticated manner; inspired by medieval painters and sculptors as well as primitive art.

An independence of mind and eye, innocent sophistication, simplification, modern expressionistic style with storytelling line, personal humoristic figurative, childhood imagery, abstract personal realism.
