Atmosphere, people, the Sun, the atlas and the sea not far away.

It is nascent and still uncertain, very influenced by the French market for a few years ago.

I have a few pop paintings to The Gallery Design and Cook and orientalist paintings to the gallery Lawrence arnott...

I am realistic painting and are in my subjects. Part of my paintings is on the Morocco: the life of the streets and campaigns, the other is more pop, focused more on fashion, music, cinema.
