It was a magical and exceptional evening !
A HUGE THANK YOU to the people who came to honor us with their presence and showed interest about our artists work ! ❤
On October 7, 2022 at 6.30 p.m., the opening of our personal exhibitions took place in Monaco.
At the invitation of my friend « Max Horde », I was able to present a retrospective of my work (drawings from my childhood, current works and future creations) in order to demonstrate that I am NOT an artist born from the last rain : I have been creating figurative drawings since the age of 10 and studying art since I was 12 !!
I even created some pieces specifically for this exhibition (which are not online yet), with the common theme of encouraging people to cross the red lines, in particular the work titled « Extra-Povera » (DIY).
I also brought some paintings from my personal collection (not my own), which I displayed like a flea market (at affordable prices) for lovers of « beautiful arts ».
