The Color Patch

I am a french amateur and self-taught artist, with congolese origins and I live in England. After I stopped teaching a few years ago, I decided to spend my time on my favorite hobby and passion: painting. I work with all kind of mediums because I think that the best way to widen your horizons is diversity. I am still in the learning process. Acrylic, soft pastel, watercolor, china ink and watercolor ink, crayons: sanguine, pierre noire, graphite are part of my work. I love ethnic painting and its lively colors. I love the simplicity of african art and what it represents. Simple, yet strong, it carries me in a far away land I love to dream of. Art is a poetic way to express oneself, and it goes through all kind of emotions ; it is the pure expression of a moment ... in time.
