How luscious. I'm have to admit that I've never eaten a fig. This makes me want to. I love the rich colours of the inside contrasting with the beautiful soft greys of the background.

The secret of this charming painting? The blue colour which is everywhere: it is a pure creation, a personal reading of the real, a decoding of the invisible, the figs are a pretext,the blue and its co-star, the purple, the main subjects. Who can find all these tints in a white cloth except an artist with a big "a"? Because of the presence of fruits, this painting could seem to be a realistic view, no, it is only a poem, an ode to the colour . An endless enchantment.
How long do you paintings take to do? Are they done on white card? Do you do an underpainting first, or paint the final colour straight onto the card? Do you sketch out anything first? And why are your landscapes looser that the still lifes? Time constrainsts? I like the still lifes, love the landscapes. Who's work do you most admire? Thank you.
