Between 1985 and 1995, I made numerous trips to French Reunion Island, where I painted murals and had exhibits of my paintings .
In these paintings I tried to recreate the ambiance of the island, the intense color and strong contrast of the light, the atmosphere in the old neighborhoods, the intertwining of nature and human habitation so typical of this lovely place. Painting traditional creole lifestyle in Reunion Island helped crystallize my personal project and while there I realized that I wanted to paint other cultures.
