The paintings of this artist are carefully worked and deeply considered; the highly refined texture bears witness to his work and sensitivity.

“La Place de Furstenberg” (oil on panel) is a fully accomplished example of his work, evoking all the poetry of Paris, with lavender blue in the grey-pink transparency of the winter sky, pearl-like clouds, still-wet pavements, and the misty silhouette of the buildings.
