Since the beginning of my artistic career, my choice was tonse pastels as my process of expression.
This is simple reason that i like to paint and draw at the same time, and it is the only technique
wich combines the immediacy of drawing with the sensuality of painting . In addition it offers the same aesthetic possibilities as paint
This technique makes it possible to treat topics as varied as portrait, landscapes or still life
In this gallery are displayed somme paintings of oriental influence to show that pastel is
not inferior to oil base paint In my opinion that pastels with their brightness and the shimmer
of these pale tunes makes material ideal to restore the effects of light.
Born in Taza (Morocco) on 1954th. Parallel to my studies of medicine at the Catholic University in Leuwen (BELGIUM) I followed evening courses at the Superior Artistic school in Brussels and attended the workshops of Masters Belgian pastellists.
