Each time I return to Lake Como and Bellagio I experience the same feeling of inner joy, being surrounded by such immense natural beauty, the same crystal clear air and breathtaking wonder of light and colour on the lake stretched out before me. I remember the colours and forms of the mountains, soft tones and pastel buildings and fishing boats casting a deep reflection across the water's surface. My days are spent responding to the gentle tempo of village life. I slip into the rhythm of the holiday setting

The landscape, colourful gardens with all their serenity excite my imagination and desires and channel all those emotions to produce my own piece of work to take away with me as an endless reminder of my visit and painting holiday at Lake Como, with all its treasures.

The Village:
The whole of Bellagio stands within one view, filled with beauty and harmony. The houses are posed gently along a thin line and their windows, like so many eyes look out affectionately onto the crystal clear lake.

The Gardens:
I lost myself in enchanted gardens. I searched for a way out, hoping not to find it. I talked with the flowers, I was at peace with the cyprus, the beech trees and the olives. Bellagio is one big garden, and it beckons you.
