Abstract painting may be understood as a self-referring expression needing no links to an external motif. Yet up to now I still paint having in mind the enlighting times spent high up in the open. Though resulting pictures may be a far-off allusion to my experience through various places, the reference remains necessary as a private guide to the painter I am.

While I’m painting my only concern is on the material part of the handling and doing: composition, pigments, paint consistencies, the way they behave, the way they make sense to the eye.
A definite recall may precisely be evoked by a picture when it’s already fairly set or even after it’s completely finished. A painting may allude to a peculiar moment, the light bathing a wonderful area, an impressive face of rock, making it easier to choose a title for it. But this reference is not cardinal and I hope the pictures are able to stand alone for themselves even if non-descriptive.

The spectator’s imagination goes its way regardless of the painter's concerns especially as I mind to let my compositions stay open:

• pictures may be regarded as frontal with no horizon line, as well as seen from above like a bird's-eye or map view,

• the execution is made with thick reliefs so the light from outside sources plays on the picture surface and its values, making its appearance turn with their changes,

• my last paintings show a range of unsaturted hues and neighbor values favoring a sensitive approach and subjective versatility.

Lookers on are quite free of their own wanderings and fancy. Each one looks at a same painting differently according to the quest or abandon of the moment.
