A representative painter of the School of Paris 1887 - 1985

With diverse and brilliant colors, he depicted the world of love between men and women, the Bible, and mythology as a fairy tale. Landscapes and figures melt into color, and time and space merge, creating a dreamlike world of color and atmosphere. His paintings convey a sense of love for his wife and homeland, and a message of yearning for love and peace.
