Back from Europe....

I had a long visit and trip in Switzerland this Summer....

The life as an artist is in the studio painting but also outside of the studio taking in a variety of emotions, seeing different scenery, meeting new people. Those are the kind of things that recharge my batteries in order to create again, perhaps in different ways.
For me a change of pace and travelling are always good ways to create new energy and fresh ideas.

One of the things I did this summer was to bring my paintings to the Big Art Show in Soleure (which I participated in last year as well). It will start in November and go the beginning of January.

I also visited galleries in Switzerland and was accepted for exhibits in three galleries. I will keep you updated on that later but I can say that I was very happy. One the shows will be in Vercorin in a small gallery called La Galerie Minuscule and I will show with my artist friend Dorane Martinelli. Another one will be in Sion at the Galerie Duo and that one will be a solo show. The third one is the Galerie de la Tour de Peilz which will show some of my paintings as one of the regular artists they exhibit.

My friend Myriam gave my the opportunity again to have a Vernissage in her store which was very successful and allowed me to meet old friends and family.
Many thanks to the Trisconi family for helping me and hosting the Vernissage!






Here are my three first paintings that I did on my return. I started freely on large canvasses since I find this more liberating...














The third one  looks like it explodes with warm colours.....



We will see what come next this Fall!
Stay tuned.....
