This is an imaginary view of the Cordouan lighthouse and its surroundings. The idea was to have a change of climate, from sunny to stormy with a dark sea to contrast the lighthouse and highlight it. A little wink at the gulls, which symbolise a certain facetiousness of the owners of this panoramic.

Panoramic views and frescoes
Here is an imaginary plunging view on the theme of the sea. It is a composition made in harmony with the client which largely meets his wishes. The destination of this panoramic is a small studio of 9 m² which in his eyes required a visual enlargement. Between mirrors and a trompe l'oeil, the choice was made….
Cité Riverin, Paris 10ème
Here is a "circular" panoramic view on a Provencal theme, faithfully representing the castle of Grignan (located north of Orange and Avignon). The 15 panels, arranged on all the high protruding tables of the room's woodwork, connect to each other with fields of lavender, wheat, poppies and sunflowers for landscape. A reference is made to Alphonse Daudet's mill on the sunniest panel. You will find details of the decorated doors in the "trompe l'oeil" section.
Plessis pâté in Essonne (91)
Here is a panoramic made in a studio on canvas and then pasted, representing an imaginary Mediterranean landscape, the desire to travel. The two-tone walls separated by a frieze of olive leaves give a lot of freshness to this living room that is the kitchen. The vase refers to the beautiful earthenware of Moustiers known for its characteristic decorations.
Rue Parmentier in Neuilly sur Seine
Rue Parmentier in Neuilly sur Seine
Realization of a "circular" panoramic on the theme of the Golden Island, which is located on the French Riviera. The aim is to give the impression of having bays open to the sea all around the room with a horizon line common to the 13 canvases with a different theme on each of them. After the patinas had been applied throughout the room, the canvases painted in the workshop were glued to the high protruding tables of the woodwork.

For a bedroom, realization in the half moon (existing) of a romantic and imaginary landscape, on the theme of a stone swimmer.
Les Molières in Essonne (91)
On a peach/apricot degraded patina background and its false fork, realization of an opening revealing the top of a ladder in order to believe that one can access from the outside.
Grigny in Essonne
Realization on canvas, of a landscape with a lavender field and its sunflowers as its theme in the foreground. Before its installation, this panoramic view was exhibited during the "handicraft weekend" organised by the Conseil Général de l'Essonne at Château de Chamarande.
Rue des Marguerites in Chilly Mazarin, in Essonne.
"Fitness Tropical" fitness centre. Realization of three panoramas on removable wooden panels on the theme of the tropics. The visual goal is to pass under a real straw hut, and to extend the slats of the real parquet floor into false slats that are gradually covered with sand in order to discover a perspective on the sea.
Norville.
Realization on canvas (16m²) of a trompe l'oeil on the theme of the Escorial (monastery located 50 km north of Madrid, containing the kings of Spain). Resumption of the monastery's interior architecture to create the passage from the office to the landscape against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains. This canvas mounted on splices was stretched by an upholsterer in a management office on the Champs Élysées and then dismantled. Stored for a while in my workshop, I glued it in Switzerland, its final destination. Coating and colour connections were mandatory around the canvas in order to integrate it into a new decoration.
