Artist Reply: thanks for all Since the beginning of my artistic career, my choice was tonse pastels as my process of expression. This is simple reason that i like to paint and draw at the same time, and it is the only technique wich combines the immediacy of drawing with the sensuality of painting . In addition it offers the same aesthetic possibilities as paint This technique makes it possible to treat topics as varied as portrait, landscapes or still life In this gallery are displayed somme paintings of oriental influence to show that pastel is not inferior to oil base paint In my opinion that pastels with their brightness and the shimmer of these pale tunes makes material ideal to restore the effects of light. I hope you enjoy this works.
