1. What got you started in website design?
   
   "To get my work known by art lovers and to get in contact with art professionals. But quickly, my site became a particular place, as a living house I build, restore or decorate permanently. I have the feeling, by opening my site, to open the door of a vast place where I installed all the things I like."
   
   
2. What do you hope to accomplish with your website?
   
   "To share a great book of pictures, feelings and emotions. To bring creativity, taste and information. To receive criticisms and comments which force me to remain humble, vigilant and innovative with regard to my work. To exchange ideas and projects with the virtual world."
   
   
3. What advice would you give other webmasters?
   
   "To present a clear and structured content, which implies an easy navigation. Because if the contents of a site are interesting by the information which it brings, its technical aspect contributes enormously to the interest which it offers."
   
   
4. What was the biggest problem you faced with your website?
   
   "First of all, to translate paintings into words in two different natural languages while keeping the same climate because I am not bilingual. More technically, to find the right tradeoffs between the loading speed and the picture quality. Another issue is to be really browser independent, screen size independent and scripting language independent."
   
   
5. If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
   
   "No. But if the gestation is over, the evolution remains a permanent effort what results in incessant discoveries and transformations."
   
   
6. What plans do you have for the future?
   
   "Get much more champagne because for each award, I celebrate the occasion. Well, I am kidding! I wish to write computer languages as well as I speak French. The web is a parallel world to our reality and present in our daily life."
   
   
7. What else do you like to do?
   
   "I am into everything. Sometimes my Capricorn side keeps my feet rooted in the earth, sometimes my Aquarius side throws my head among the stars."
