  • a painter artist road of more than 30 years
  • and so many exhibits








    • 1979 – 1990
    From decades and until the end of the eighties, Porcelain painting was linked to big classics like « Nyon », « Meissen », « Strasbourg » etc… This contributes to maintain the public in a frozen imagery where flowers and bouquets, sometimes one or two fruits or some landscapes, are the stars of this art, even today. Very little audacity : rare are the painters who try others styles. 1991-1993
    Italy opens the ball of renewal. This country which was always very artistic, launches into more audacious decors, with Porcelain painters coming from the whole world. New techniques appear, and some of ancient ones, forgotten, reappear. 1994
    A “tsunami” attains Switzerland, the Porcelain painting knows a revolutionary bang. Dozens of new techniques come to enrich and rejuvenate this art, which becomes resolutely modern. International competitions are organised in Italy, followed by Switzerland and other countries some years later ; the happy years of Porcelain painting begin. 1995-1999
    A wind of modernity blows with the arrival of passionate young students. Splendid decors appear, delighting the world with new ideas, colours and techniques. The demand is very strong. Courses and seminars are besieged. Dozens of exhibitions and international conventions are setting up. A lot of courses open everywhere, sometimes given behind closed doors by on-the-job trained people.     2000-2004
     Some happy years more, then new techniques get breathless, students bulimia for novelties is not fed anymore, and the number of registerings goes down. Actually, they don’t understand that they can now reap profit from the last decade’s discoveries and technical innovations to make original works.
    2003-2006
     Despite of the crisis, the Porcelain painting didn’t say its last word and continues purposing more and more beautiful pieces. Switzerland has become a reference in the matter, and especially Geneva, where the biggest number of studios is counted. 2007-2011
     Since 2007, France's lives a boom similar that the 1994 experience of Switzerland and this popularity helps boost the reputation of Swiss studios.
