LIVELLO 42
14 dicembre, 2025
IL “Evoluzione” esposizione, che correva da marzo 2 A 17, 2024 alla Halle Mandela di Longjumeau, mi ha riportato indietro nel tempo ai miei primi lavori pittorici, esibire foto dei miei primi dipinti adolescenti a Gouache su carta e alcune tele dei primi anni 2000, Quando ho tirato fuori i miei pennelli e ho deciso di tornare a dipinti acrilici su tela. La città di Longjumeau mi ha dato un meraviglioso benvenuto, per il quale sono infinitamente grato.






Ecco un ritratto del trombettista franco-libanese Ibrahim Maalouf che suona a mezz'aria. Questo è il secondo ritratto che dipingo di questo formidabile musicista. Questo dipinto sarà esposto al Festival de Jazz 2024 di Longjumeau nel mese di maggio 2024.

Ecco un doppio ritratto dei due famosi rapper Tupac Shakur & Notorio Grande (amici e poi nemici) che hanno portato questo genere musicale ad un livello senza precedenti negli anni '90. Questo dipinto è stato creato per il Salon des Arts 2023 a Longjumeau, il cui tema era l'hip hop.

Ecco un ritratto del ballerino hip hop franco-congolese Junior Bosila Banya, che ha avuto una carriera straordinaria. Questo ritratto è stato creato con altri due dipinti per il Salon des Arts 2023 a Longjumeau, il cui tema era l'hip hop.

Ecco un doppio ritratto di Jean-Michel Basquiat, con il suo guscio esterno su un lato e un pezzo di una delle sue opere, Il re”, dall'altra, raffigurante una figura con il volto di una maschera africana, adornato con la famosa corona che simboleggia il successo. Questo ritratto è una delle tre tele create per il Salon des Arts 2023 a Longjumeau, il cui tema era l'hip hop.
Dal 10 al 15 maggio esporrò 20 opere d'arte così come 20 foto scattate sul palco durante i concerti del Festival Jazz di Longjumeau. Questa mostra sarà esposta ogni giorno prima e dopo ogni concerto al Teatro Longjumeau.

Dal 13 al 22 maggio esporrò 20 delle mie opere al “I colori del jazz” mostra a Saint Fargeau-Ponthierry. Anche questa mostra sarà esposta 20 immagini da New Orleans del fotografo francese Moise Fournier .
