Welcome in my universe : SAND-PAINTING !

If you've never heard of this technique, it's not really surprising because it can't be practised everywhere ; actually, you need a very special sand to manage your paintings : volcanic or coral sand which is hard, fine and porous enough to be used natural or colored then stuck on your support and lacquered.

For 14 years now,  I've been inhabited by this passion ! Actually, I contracted this nice virus in Africa where I lived for 5 years and discovered this form of art ; since then, I've never stopped expressing myself through sand-painting. 

Since 2008, I've been a member of a prestigious association situated in Aix-en-Provence : Les Amis des Arts and I exhibit twice a year at that gallery.

My favourite themes are the luminous Provence and exoticism  

All my paintings are on a flexible support which can be rolled for sending if you don't wish to buy the frame ; in that case, the price will be reduced of course. However, I advise you to protect the painting with a glass to avoid too much dust on the sand. So, you will keep your painting for years, even centuries !!!
