I paint outdoors near my home in remote farmlands of central France.
The direct experience of being in the landscape, often standing in the same field for months on end, is crucial to my creative process.
My work in recent years has focused primarily on the setting sun and those moments leading towards nightfall,
whereby the landscape is either being obliterated, almost devoured by the sun’s all consuming luminosity
or being dissolved by the receding, diminishing light.
