Radu FOCSA's Studio and showroom in GORDES

How long do you needed to paint this?

This question I heard it repeatedly, and even today I can not answer. All simply because the work of a painting always starts well before touching the canvas.

Most often I work outdoors in oils with a pallet knife. But the starting point of a painting can also be a sketch made from nature and then the painting itself guides me.

I never run out of subjects, but seldom is there enough time to express all of what I feel.

In everything, in every image or situation, abides a "conventional" reality that everyone can see, and another reality, not less true, but more discreet - less visible at first sight. It is this other reality which belongs to the "dreamscape" and allows expression of feeling, unspokenness, and other profoundly human things. It is that I try to capture and project with my own sensibility in my paintings.
