Therefore the name of this woman was not disclosed at least at the time of writing.
Multiple reasons can explain the big red dot frequently used by the painter.

BBBOriginal38 viewsThis represents the first draft of BBB that I discovered by chance on a disquette ! It is interesting to see the progression of the work. The charcoal general forms are still there on the lower part of the painting but the high part has been already accentuated by the black callygraphic lines.
The gentleman in the back will be changed. A blue blanket will be added, the bottle and the glass will disappear. The hair will also be added...

Blessing84 viewsThis is one of the Californian series now finished. However, the photographic numeric process has added a slight pink color on most of the background which fits perfectly well with the painting. Therefore I will have to add physically this slight change on this painting. During my last visit in California in 05/08 I added some more work introducing a different blue color and an additional graph in the background. I am not sure if that was correct. I will discuss that later...

The Monocle34 viewsThis is the second version of "the gentleman" which has been remastered in 2005. Note that something was missing in the first version ! Now the second eye is being represented with a monocle. Second, the collar of the jacket is now black and may represent fur. Finally the bow tie is stronger. There is no other changes.
This painting can be classified as a typical "cubism" painting.

Atomic Bomb37 viewsI was a young boy when my late uncle came in the living room saying that the americans had exploded the first atomic bomb in Japan. I asked what was the atomic bomb and what will be the result ? It was said that this wll accelerate the end of the war... I recently read an impressive report made by the director of an hospital who miraculosly survived the explosion and described what he saw around him... Because this man was educated he was able to make a precise and highly impressive description of the state of those poor people still alive for few minutes or hours but deadly burned by the intense heat of the bomb...

The Infante looking at the city of Certaldo25 viewsThis is the latest version of this painting that I love a lot. Look at the white line which is now bordering the back of the Infante. This was already present in the previous version but now this line has been extended and increases the body from the background by the way producing a new unexpected calligraphy. However, I will work more on that when I will have a giclee of this painting.

The Infante looking at the city of Certaldo22 viewsA painting of pure imagination. A young woman of a Royal spanish family is looking out on a peaceful landscape of Toscany.
I love the atmosphere of this painting which needed heavy restauration and finally remastering, preserving the original atmosphere
I have been always impressed by the painting of drapery by highly conformist British painters such as Gainsborough, Thomas Lawrence and his master Joshua Reynolds...

Golem Legend and Norbert Wiener34 viewsIt is too long to explain all the intricacies of the golem legend reinterpretated by Norbert Wiener, the father of cybernetics.
This will be done later by connecting blogs to the site.
Let's say that the old legend of the golem is a hebraic story which took place in the city of Praha.
A very old and respected Rabin took a piece of clay to build a robot which worked instead of humans

Bringing to the people of this World49 views"Bringing to the people of this World" has been painted in a phase of unexpected exaltation when the central calligraphy was finished. on the white background. Then the idea came that the callygraphy represented my contribution to the world of painting without thinking of what will follow over the years. Therefore I am now obliged to think that this painting was a premonition of my future. It was then totally forgotten and stored in the cellar with all the other paintings. I took me some time when rediscovered to remember the history of this work; I am now very interested by the drawings around the central representation of Earth...

Gemini37 viewsThis painting was the result of a play on the paper leading to two similar forms which can evoke non identical twins.
The blue tags are not really important.

Quality of calligrphy is fine.

Aristocrat and Bird34 viewsAristocrat and Bird This painting was very well preserved and no restauration was necessary. It is presented in the workshop for photography only. This is obviously a tribute to the painting style of Bernard Buffet. I like the very serious attitude of this old gentlman who is tight in his education, culture, dressing as opposed to the bird which can represent freedom !
