A representative painter of the School of Paris, 1887-1985

He depicted the world of male and female love, the Bible, and mythology as a fairy tale world with diverse and brilliant colors. Landscapes and figures melt into colors, and time and space merge, creating a dreamlike world of paintings with fantastic colors and atmosphere. One can feel the love for his wife and hometown, and a message seeking love and peace.
