Giverny Painting

En Francais :
Mirai Peinture Chinoise

When I was a kid, I was already playing around in Claude Monet's water garden! The place was " wild " at that time : there were holes in the fence so we could sneak in… and play hide and seek in the bushes… until Mrs and Mr Van der Kemp arrived !

MY FIRST STEPS

At the beginning I took painful, endless and repetitive Chinese Calligraphy courses given by my Master. Then I started to paint flowers the very subtle " Chinese painting -free style " way -under the critical eye of my Master!

A NEW STYLE : MY STYLE!

Month after month, my inner and unique style slowly grew. The synergy between Chinese painting and the wonder of French landscapes was emerging. Laying out Chinese Inks and watercolors on natural paper (made out of rice and bamboo) with Chinese traditional brushes became my style! (By the way, I'm still looking for a name for it… any ideas?)
