about I made my first trip to India, a country which had always fascinated me, and which I'd dreamed of from an early age, in 1981. During my frequent stays as a traveller, I had the opportunity to mix with the people of this country, savour their culture and share the philosophy of life which has always made the peoples of the east so extraordinary. Over the years, I have visited a large part of this marvellous country, my heart becoming immensely fond of and wrapped up in its thousand year cultures, temples, art, the never-ending misery of a people proud of its knowledge and traditions. In 1983, I founded Capriaquar with the aim of conveying my love and passion for this extraordinary figurative art form to the western world. Over the years, I have continued to study Indian art, which continues to instill strong feelings in me even today. During my lengthy stays, I became passionate about Tibetan and Nepalese art which continues to drive me to find pieces which express the deep beliefs of these peoples; The pleasure of discovery, then of the purchase and lastly of proposing that which has always been, in me, the urge to know. |
