Welcome to the shared ARTS website

A superb wrinkle, a fleeting smile, a sketched gesture, a hectic sea, a menacing wave. From portrait to sea, from the sea to scenes of life, from back and forth favourites that delight and delight, in the same creative way. A mixture that creates bubbling foam, which sometimes floats above the waters, like almost motionless clouds, which freeze the time of a snapshot of a painter's dream who marvels at so much beauty, ephemeral beauty, that it is necessary to quickly lie on the canvas , to immortalize the moment, on this canvas that once completed will be left in pasture to the indifferent eyes of passers-by who pass, or perhaps aficionados who will appropriate it, sometimes with a compliment to the author. Art is around us, is in us, seeing it and appreciating it to varying degrees depends on our own sensibility, sometimes helped by a modest trigger that is the path of a painter's brush on a canvas.

In fact the joy of painting is sometimes our first and last beautiful reward.

Tirade of a painter who in small steps comes out of the shadows to approach the light.
