    1998 - Oil paintings exhibition in the PAN AFRICAN MARKET in Cape Town / South Africa

    Despite the intense violence raging in these heavenly lands of South Africa, and precisely since they were revolting, you feel you have wings and are inspired. Here, artists can only react and express themselves in a country where respect is almost inexistent. This was mainly the reason that pushed me to stay on in Cape Town for a year and it was within this context of total freedom that artists are able to produce without inhibitions, in an environment of multiplied creativity driven by a strong cultural, political and geographic power. This is where the idea for ‘ La clé de l’Afrique’ was born, naturally. See thel project

  • Photography : During my early travels to Africa, I used to leave my small camera behind on purpose, clearly displayed on the reception area table and would leave with a small white notebook and an ink pen. It was important for me to do that, convinced that one cannot travel and maintain authenticity, when equipped with a camera…


     Mauritania desert 1995



    ... however, I saw such strong images, captured such wonderful moments, sometimes so surreptitious, that I decided to share them using this instantaneous means. A photo has no meaning in my eyes, no matter how graphic, unless we can find somewhere in it a person on which our eyes can rest and who conveys to us a precise emotion, a gesture, a look before the immensity, and it’s up to us to measure it on a human scale. You can see, in your turn, what I saw. I hope that you will be as touched by it as I was, I think it’s as simple as that…

Livre d'or Guestbook

 

Translation : Jihane Bouzakhm / Dubaï / UAE

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Nelson Mandela (President of South Africa, 1994 inauguration speech)
