A gradual switch to more intense colors...

My last three paintings illustrate my recent move towards brighter colors (even pure colors) to jazz up my work after a relatively long period of calm...

I've continued to build on my use of vertical and horizontal lines as a means to express movement. I let the paint flow in total freedom welcoming any "happy accident' along the way!

P.S. Over the last few years, I often used pastel/attenuated colors as a means to tone down my sometimes more aggressive painting subjects...

An exploration of horizontal lines...

Piggybacking on the look of my recent paintings, I painted a number of subjects letting acrylic colors and inks flow horizontally and vertically to create movement. A new style seems to be emerging...

Tackling different subjects with dripping paint...

Somewhat obsessed with horizontal paint drips, I tried the approach on a girl riding a pony and on a design using a ballistic model and two fighting eagles...

  This definitely gives me the incentive to go beyond painting faces with this technique...

My latest production... pushing ecological subjects...

My latest paintings further explored black ink, metal sheets and the use of collage for textural effects...

With this recent trend, I want to incorporate more movement into my works...

"A fish called Wanda"... more ink than paint this time!

Deciding to tackle climate change (I'm an ecologist by formation), I produced this last painting with the impact of extreme inundations in mind:

I tipped the scale on the ink side this time, simply because I liked the first layer with acrylic ink.

Using copper leaves with an Australian subject...

After having used gold and silver leaves for my recent painting backgrounds, I was left with copper leaves as a last avenue for experimentation...

Recently, I was deeply moved after having discovered the music of an exceptional aboriginal artist,  named Gurrumul, who unfortunately died last year from chronic illness. I chose to depict a younger Gurrumul and I tried to emulate the Australian desert using torn copper leaves... I like the wild look of this painting!

P.S. This time I tried to balance fluid paint and impasto paint...

Working on "The Tamimi's fire and fury"...

Impressed by the story of the young Palestinian activist, Ahed Tamimi, I decided to do her portrait on the spur of the moment using silver leaves and fluid paint...

Wanting to do more textural effects in the future, it is doubtful that I will be able to shake out completely dripping paint and acrylic black ink... and should I, really?
