Tuareg's Eyes Artwork - Limited Edition of 1

As Pablo Picasso said it : "The meaning of Life is to find your gift - The purpose of Life is to give it away". The main point of my work is not so much to create a work of art than it is to use Art to make the world a better place. Creativity is much more an attitude than a know how. When Francois Rabelais wrote in Pantagruel : "Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'ame", he meant that Science - intellectual knowledge, without awareness of the possible adverse effects of its application, is the death of one's soul. I believe this is also true of art and that creation for the sake of creation is a waste of one's energy. Hence an artist's work should be fed by 2 major complementary currents: An aesthetic and creative flow by which the artist actually creates. In this act of creation, the artist actually allows something bigger than him to be expressed through him. A spiritual, religious or social one, through which the artists harness this creative current to serve the community that supports him. At this time of my life, my work is mostly inspired by the Arts of Classical Rome and French and Italian Renaissance. Zen Buddhism, Confucian philosophy and the concept of "Do" omnipresent in Oriental cultures are the spiritual counterpart to these deep aesthetic influences. I create to share my passions and bring people to realize they have in them what it takes to be creative in all domains. If you have the attitude, you will acquire the know-how. After years of experimentation and work with great masters, I want to share what I have learned and researched to inspire others to give the best of themselves.
