Painting is something which I had
never dreamed to practise. I would even say that I hated painting. My passion of
always was the music, the sport and yoga.
But one day of September 1996, more precisely the 6 , I was invited in a
friend who had just bought an instrument. We were joined together to speak about
music; but at my great surprise, this friend started to distribute sheets,
brushes and water colours.
By seeing the sheets, I thought that they would be used to write the musical
theory. But to write with brushes seemed obviously not very likely to me. I did
not understand anything with the situation. I asked for explanations and in
answer, they held me about these remarks: "You are accustomed to advising
us; and you, are you able to listen to people? Before speaking about music, each
one will have to make a drawing". I felt trap because they knew pertinently
that I did not like pictorial art and that I could not draw.
Small anecdote _ One year before, with my birthday, one of my best friends had offered a book to me on the "Impressionists". I returned in a great anger at the point to bring back his book for him.
To return from there to our history; in front of the assistance which had already painted for some several drawings, my pride was touched and I have to react, because I was the elder one. Insane of rage, I took a brush and I smeared with the manner of a child. Dissatisfied of my work, I wanted to tear it. But, flattering, my friends said to me that one never had to tear the first work and they added: "You will be perhaps one of the greatest geniuses of tomorrow". These words justified me as well, so the next day I bought heaps of sheets, gouaches and brushes. I started to paint, in an abstracted way, with eagerness and passion.
And since, I did not leave the
brushes. That made almost 10 years. I benefit from it today to pay homage to my
detractors who were persuaded that I would not manage to finish a table in
"Nano-Point". They sought to dissuade me to continue painting; saying
that I was not gifted. But thanks to their statements which wounded me deeply, I
knew to develop my Will, my Courage and Constancy in the effort. For this
purpose, I repeat: "Be never afraid to face the difficulties of the life.
Believe in your dreams. But Work is the key of all the Successes".
I thank also those which supported me closely like by far; in thoughts as in actions since all these years, encouraging me to persevere vis-a-vis the attacks of my detractors, certain museums and galleries which closed me their doors preventing me from exposing. To those who advised me, justified in the realization of my works.
