“…The taste of enchantment and the feeling of reality coexist in his work. Reality is knowingly being transgressed…”Dense composition, nudes with full forms, a little heavy, bouquets of flowers pressed together, full art, rough, thick texture, there is no room for emptiness in his work.His art is sensual without concession or artifice. The drawing is firm, without trickery, the painting limited to warm colors, and the impasto has the richness of an underside worked lovingly and brought to light.
