"Giving life to a simple sheet of metal; accepting the challenge to confer to it a certain meaning and an individual atmosphere through the colour, the form and the content - this is fascinating for me. I love etching. The process fascinates me. Of course, I also do watercolour, drawing and oil painting but again and again I return to etching. Poetry is a vital source of inspiration for me, a way of communicating inner visions and feelings. It creates a world of serenity, leaving my reveries free to roam while safeguarding my thoughts. Transient fashions and tendencies of the moment are fleeting. For the artist there is only one truth: to be honest with ourselves. It is a philosophy that comes with many years of practicing the "métier," with maturity, with the experiences of life itself, with a personalized sensitivity permitting the expression of one's own unique vision."
