PHO20201102 (2020) Photography by Jean-Jacques Minardi (Ipo)

Painting has entered my life, but in fact it has always been present. I am blue from the Mediterranean and white from the constructions of Algiers, I migrated to Provence where the colors explode then on blue and white Marseille, destiny.
Then nothing, if exhibitions, and the poppy episode, mine did not look like a poppy, the colors were there but the shape ...
Posters by Klee, De Staël adorned my walls, later it was Lindberg, Pesmes and Crespo.
Meeting with an elderly painter from the cross-Valmer, finally a weekend spent at his side, I learned more in 3 days, than in 45 books.
I meet Gustave, Anne and Jérôme de Staël, no nothing !!!
And then a badly treated arteritis, hospital in emergency, amputation of a leg, then 8 months later a bypass which loose, another amputation, here I am reduced to the chair, I was already a survivor, quickly I realize my dreams, one is to paint.
2017 acrylic painting frame canvas cotton knives brushes,
The colors, subjugated by the miscibility of acrylic, I paint …… Shy, then released, the others that matter.
Jack looks at my paintings and laughs, "it's not all to throw away, you should look at the NY school in the 50's"
Elodie enters the room and rushes to a painting, "how much?" I bought ”this will be a gift, because that day, I won much more, subsequently subjugated by“ Spring ”I would give her a …………… prize.
The color, the colors, always; movement is joined, not that enclosed in the canvas, but that of the action of painting.
The discovery of new tools for painting will make me temporarily abandon knives, brushes and hands.
Creativity or magical moment in front of the canvas, without idea, yet an image is born.

Abstract, go further !!! yes but at my own pace !!
