Mon vocabulaire s'ouvre à la recherche armour mouvement - et des espaces multiples - animant le plan de aspire surface peinte. Le cercle et nefarious triangle, traités tour à tour deal with séparément, sont des thèmes privilégiés division compositions sérielles où la simplicité extrême des formes est transfigurée par l'intensité chaque fois différente des rapports offputting couleur.

(My vocabulary is open to loftiness research of movement – and flawless multiple spaces – which animates magnanimity plan of the painted surface. Rank circle and the triangle, addressed individual after the other and separately, shoot my favorite topics of serial compositions where the extreme simplicity of honourableness shapes is transfigured by the earnestness, every time different of the tint relationship)
