We opened a small workshop for kids at Centre Pompidou some week ago.
I loved observing the kids play and draw freely.

MOON TREE




Gabriel Orozco inspires me. I'm starting to look at things around me with fresh eyes.

I don't want to be a master. I want to be a kid.
To keep making art, you have to put yourself in the position of a beginner.
You have to be excited by a stone on the sidewalk, or like a child, by the flight of a bird.

I'm back from Sweden. I can't describe how much I loved it there.

I'll definitely be back to discover more!

Hello!

it's been so quiet here..

From now on, some of my recent work can be seen here.
Better layout, simple navigation.
I'll be adding more images in times to come.

Enjoy your summer (or winter)

I'm excited to to go to Sweden in August!

HAPPY HOUR

I visited an exhibition of Paul Klee the other day, one of my favorite artists.
There was a quote on the wall and it somehow moved me.
It was something like this:
'Colour possesses me. This is the meaning of my happy hour. Colour and I are one. I'm a painter. '
I thought my life would be quite boring if I stopped creating.

Last post on the books from my trip to Basel.
I was lucky enough to find an amazing secondhand bookshop

full of children's books which suit my taste.
The book above is a collection of children's drawings,

each displayed with a name of the 'artist' and his/her age.

It's one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen.

Oh Berlin was amazing! I didn't bother taking many photos though.
However, there are several artists I discovered during this short trip.
Alexandra Bircken is one..
See an interview with her here

Another thing: Olafur Eliasson's exhibition
at Martin Gropius Bau was especially stunning!
It's been a while since I've been to such a stimulating exhibition.

Thanks everyone for the tips.
I can't wait to go back (probably in the weekend next time for the fleamarkets..).

TELL ME ABOUT BERLIN
what to eat, to see, where to go..etc
I'll be there next week!

Thanks a lot for your kind words on my last post. I appreciate it.

Stitch



I tried out some stitching lately out of my collages.
With my limited knowledge and skills, they look a bit awkward. It's fun nonetheless!
