“EVOLUTION”
The “Evolution” exhibition, which ran from March 2 to 17, 2024 at Longjumeau’s Halle Mandela, took me back in time to my earliest pictorial works, exhibiting photos of my early teenage paintings in gouache on paper and a few canvases from the early 2000s, when I took out my brushes again and decided to return to acrylic paintings on canvas. The town of Longjumeau has given me a wonderful welcome, for which I’m infinitely grateful.
