Once I went for a walk in the quarter of les halles in Paris, before their
destruction a few months later.
My view had been attracted by a collage presented in a tiny shop, where a great
number of artworks had been collected in a certain disorder.
I spent quite a long time looking at the collage, which was covered by pages of
artbooks, carefully cut into several pieces. Fascinated by this little artwork, I
completely forgot asking for the creator of it, but in my memory it was made by
a woman.
Since this day I like to express myself by creating collages……
I began by covering papers completely with cut pieces and slowly but steady I
progressed and tried other techniques, like mixing different types of paper and
using paint and varnish.
During the following years I have been exposing in several places, for example
at Salon des Independants at Grand Palais in Paris. In the past I have been selling
many of my collages and paintings at exhibitions and by recommendation.
The creation of this website is due to the late wish of making myself
a bit more known and presenting a choice of my latestworks.
In the future, some paintings will be added.
