“I cannot abstain from totally abstract art that does not cling to anything. My quest is to seduce with rich visual delights with a Western concern for realism”
Transform your home into colorful treasures
My mission is to make the viewer feel the richness and light of the paintings of the old orientalist masters, through a modern artwork. My original creations are colorful and ornamental works of art, which together captivate and delight the eyes. My oils also bring a touch of magic to each room allowing the spaces to metamorphose into colorful treasures, filled with a warm atmosphere and authentic colors.
Original Mediterranean colorful Art
Inspired by my origins and my Mediterranean culture, my original works integrate the colorful richness of Mediterranean mosaics, decorative arabesques, printed fabrics from the Near and Middle East and mastery of Russian art.

Ornamental oils with jewellery effect
My artistic style is closely linked to the Nabi Movement. Based on a reality transfigured by painting, I create ornamental compositions with natural elements such as plants, aquatic creatures, or animals. Using oils for their depth and transparency, I seek to create a jewel effect that will delight art collectors.
Eastern and Western inspirations
My art is deeply influenced by my multiple origins. I was born in 1963 in the UK, after my parents left Egypt during the Suez crisis. I am a Czech, Venetian, French and Ottoman mestizo. I spent 40 years in Montreal and 18 years in Luxembourg. In 2011, I bought a house in the Florida Keys, which I call my "Happy Place." Self-taught, I paint professionally since 2016.
