I started selling paintings ( mainly water colour paintings about the city and the country of Luxembourg ) in 1987 with the help of an art gallery in Luxembourg-City. Those type of paintings sold very well, but after a year and a half or so , I thought I was not creative enough any more and I knew it was time to move on and change my style and the content of my paintings.

So, instead of painting  landscapes and urban places that really existed, I started doing imaginary compositions ( mainly landscapes and flowers ). The colors I used and mixed were of a great vividness. I was still using watercolors as I had acquired a certain experience with that medium.

The definitive step in a new direction was done when I started painting with gouache and  acrylic colors and when I developed more and more the feeling for what is generally called " active painting ". Over 90 % of what I  painted during  the nineties can be classified under what is called " abstract expressionism ".

While experimenting with different mediums, I noticed the interest of giving a certain relief to some compositions and I started mixing all kinds of materials with the paint : sand and small pieces of seashells that I had gathered on beaches around the world, but also plaster and hemp for example. That led me to the flat- relief.

Later on, when my interest in primitive cultures increased, I was inspired by the aesthetics and natural aspect of primitive art. So I started creating my own masks or figures and developed my own motives and patterns to decorate them.

In the year 2001,  I achieved my first sculptures
My art had become three-dimensional..

So, over the years, creating artworks has become for me an indispensable passion and most of all, a feeling of joy ; the joy to create something new, something unique. It allows me to express certain parts of my personality, to develop my identity in a creative way. By creating art, I always feel a great spontaneity, but I never forget some basic principles that are essential for me: a good space division, unity, movement, fineness of form, harmony and a certain degree of mystery. These principles taken together with the mastering of the technique that for each specific project I consider to be the best, are the essential  ingredients of my artworks.
