Butterflies remind me of my grandfather. His backyard had a flower patch and butterflies loved to visit and stay for long periods of time. It would be in early spring, usually a sunny and warm day. I guess that’s when I started loving flowers and butterflies. I was four years old. I remembered my childhood while painting PAPILLON.

Tropical islands are my favorite places to visit for a week of relaxation, I love swimming and snorkeling in the warm Caribbean waters, the lush green vegetation and the exotic flowers.
Even though the islands have a lot of similarities, I have had a different experience in each one. I was inspired by Bora Bora for this painting, I was at the Club Med spending a week with my wife, we had a small bungalow raised above water, it was a beautiful setting. The food, the fresh bread, the cheese and the wine were great and needless to say I was happy. Life was beautiful and I had a great time.
When I got back I could not wait to express the wonderful experience on canvas, RAINFOREST was created, I have thought of other titles like Bird of Paradise and a few others but at the end Rainforest was my choice.
Isn’t nature beautiful, it’s good to be alive.

We all begin to travel from the day we are born to an undisclosed destination. Many years ago I had a discussion with a dear and close friend of mine about the length of time our travel could take and I remember telling him no one knows. There are some of us who will take that time and put it to good use by helping others and being generous and selfless, not only to one’s family but to those who need it. I think my friend is one of those people who did not waste his time, he put it to good use. This painting reminds me of the day we had that discussion. Well done RK.

A tribute to Charles Aznavour, the most influential composer, poet, singer in my life. I was 17 years old when I first heard his SUR MA VIE and since then he has been in my life as well almost all of my friends’. LA BOHEME is one of my favorite songs being an artist myself, I visualized Monmartre from his description in an abstract expression. When you are young you see everything positive, colorful and lovely and as you get older things change a little. Everyone has a little bit of La Boheme in our lives. I am happy to say that I still have some LA BOHEME in my life and I hope you have some in yours too.

I have been to a few bullfights in my time, very exciting, the music , the warm colors, you are happy that the toreador prevails but you feel a little sadness that the bull must die. So it’s a mixed feeling, like the gladiators fighting for their lives knowing that you either live or die. There is a certain majestic powerful and arrogant look that the bull displays, very intimidating. The young toreador who looks so elegant but frail in his costume and cape. A David and Goliath story.

Snorkeling in St. Thomas is a great experience. I spent a week there and I was in the water all day snorkeling. I loved the colorful species of fish, but I was mesmerized by the underwater landscape and the coral. I have painted this painting remembering how beautiful nature is.

Flamenco music inspired me on this Abstract expressionistic painting. The rhythm, the clapping, the dancers,the bright colors, love that music and the Spanish culture, so warm and full of life, lively. I hope looking at this painting you get the same uplifting feeling I got.
