He likes to photograph the banks of the Seine in the early morning, the light filtering under the bridges, the rooftops gleaming in the rain, the majestic silhouettes of the city\u2019s\u00a0 monuments that suddenly appear as you turn a corner into a narrow street, the river barges, the markets, the caf\u00e9s\u2026. The result is a series of surprisingly realistic paintings; a poetic, dreamlike vision of a nostalgic and timeless Paris.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;36667&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643270616227{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643270828438{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080; font-size: 14px;\"><em>\u00ab Perspective atmosph\u00e9rique sur le Grand Palais et les toits de Paris \u00bb <\/em><em><br \/>\nOriginal watercolour on ARCHES\u00ae\u00a0Aquarelle paper cold pressed 356 gsm, 75 cm x 55 cm<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;36674&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643270677573{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643270702988{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080; font-size: 14px;\"><em>\u00a0\u00ab Nuit de feu sur Paris \u00bb<br \/>\nOriginal watercolour on ARCHES\u00ae Aquarelle paper cold pressed 356 gsm, 55 cm x 35.5 cm<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<span lang=\"EN-US\">His second major source of inspiration is the Orient. From the diaries of his travels in Morocco, he draws multiple subjects: Berber men and their way of life, the magic of travel, but also the ruggedness of the landscapes bathed in hot light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">His work exudes an unusual force in the colours and light; the drawing is extremely precise. This gives his pictures a realism that uncommon among the usual language of watercolour.
