Nature, beautiful and wild, birds have inspired me to draw, then to paint. Over the years, I scribbled then drew my first flowers and, later, my first horse.I visited museums, galleries. But I was directed to quite a different thing that painting.

During my studies in the Fine arts, I specialized in advertising and illustration.Over the years, I took up my paint brushes.I have never studied painting, I learned on my own.

I like Salvador Dali and Leonor Fini 's paintings ; comic strip ; literature : Edgard Poe, Lautréamont ; fantasy movies : the Lord of rings ; classical music : Purcell, Beethoven ; rock and Dire Streat ; poetry : Baudelaire, Verlaine.

I painted with water then, one day, I have begun myself in oil painting, slowly, with my rhythm.

I have exhibited all over the world. There are the rewards, personal exhibitions, directories and today all that we can see on fantastics-arts.com.

Among the artists who have influenced me, there are the painters Verlinde, Suidmak, Valentine Hugo, Gustave Doré.

The writing of " A never-ending story " has supported some ideas for my paintings but any never will be born, as too dark or too crazy ideas, a video game.........but this is another story.

I met interesting people : the painter Kazimierz Dzyga, the poet Lionel Stacul de Martinis.

My grandfather, Louis Vincent, always backed me up.

I thank all people who helped me and those who created me troubles : it learns to fight.
