Paintings of natural and urban landscapes, oil painting and watercolors

Nature as a support for contemplation and meditation. Forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, the vegetal, mineral and aquatic world as a source of inspiration. Towns and villages, human shelters and architecture as subjects of research and artistic support. All these items figure in the above menu. Some pages are still empty but I am busy filling them.

Trees and forest

The trees, the forest, are the topic of that first page.

The forest has most probably been the original environment of man, so that when I go for a walk in the forest, I often think about our ancestors with a certain nostalgia and catch myself dreaming about a wilder life. I also think about that this forest, destroyed by modern man relentlessly, is still such indispensable to our survival as a species. The tales, the Indians’ and trappers’ adventure stories of my youth come back to me and I feel how much this forest, those trees are rooted in my affective memory. I instinctively feel that deep inside me the wood’s runner from the earliest times is not far below the varnish of civilized man. A strange feeling of both joy and fear always overcomes me when I go into the depths of the forest which has kept all its spells that I like to share with you in painting.   

Choose the subject(s) which attract you in the menu. I wish you a pleasant visit.
