The La Fontaine series

My fascination with La Fontaine's fables dates back to childhood,  when these stories first transported me to a wonderful world where animals were as human as us.

I have given a new visual interpretation of 40 fables, incorporating something of my own experience. Hence, many of the paintings lend themselves to a double interpretation.

La Fontaine wrote to instruct while giving pleasure.  I have tried to capture the humour, inventiveness,  lightnesness of touch, and joie de vivre that burst through his Fables. Our age needs a La Fontaine to re-enchant it! My paintings are faithful to this spirit.
