The charm of watercolor paintings
Watercolors possess a subtle mystic charm, due perhaps to their inherent pureness and illusive simplicity, and which by their very nature seem to defy all control; artists consider watercolor painting as possibly more sophisticated and difficult than other techniques.
The picturesque poesy and exuberance of watercolors rest in the extraordinary generosity of resources permitting to represent from minutiae of detail to virtual abstraction.
Without the taboos of the past, the aquarelle of today affords an irrefutable liberty of expression for the artist to utilize the vast repertoire of this technique to attain the lyrical and chromatic effects of sentiment and beauty. I adore watercolor. I discover in it characteristics of my own personality, stimulating love of life, feelings of joy, beauty, optimism...
In my wanderings and travels I am very much attracted to landscapes and nature, favourite themes of my present paintings.
Watercolors adapt divinely to my style. The paper, the water, and the colors of the pigments in motion impel my creativity, and I react with the brush to their boundless suggestions.
The availability of paints of professional quality, proven by tests that I myself perform, permit a high degree of reliability and confidence in the color and long lasting life of the work.
The enchantingly artistic effects, so unexpected and emotional, more than compensate for all the difficulty encountered in painting with watercolors.
