REMED

In April, I had the great oportunity to discover a marveleous city called “Soulsville” also known as Memphis. I’ve been invited by my friend Robert Loeb who I met in Miami through the artist Angelbert, last November.

My experienceiin Tenessee was absolutely amazing, especially on the level of music. I heard over the deepest and most sincere voices & beats I ever heard in any places I lived. One of my favorite moment is when I came into Di Anne Price. She’s a soulfull and beautyfull woman. Charismatic. I seen her fingers slowly dancing on the piano’s keys while her smoky warm voice was singing some true words about Life, me sitting at her side, sipping a glass of rhum. Staring and listening to magic happening.

In April, I’ve been invited by Remedios, from Spain, in order to be part of a muralism event in the city of Leon, in Spain.

I spent 5 days there, beside my spanish hommies San, Nuria Mora, Rosh and Alberto de Pedro. It was good time creating, riding bike, sharing beers and tapas under the sun of my beloved Spain.

I decided to reproduce a drawing I alreadt¡y did a few weeks ago, without expecting him to get life on a mural some day, but it happened.

This latest month, I’ve been spending relative time in Marrakech. I had the great luck to Live again the roots of I, to meet myself again.

Everyday, during something like a week (a moroccan week, which his quite diferent than an occidental week) I was riding a small moto (it could have been a mule or a donkey) down Essaouira road.

When I received the invitation from David Bloch, the gallerist in Marrakech, i directly seen the beautyful oportunity this travel could represent for me.
As i said in the previous post, I have a long relationship with Marrakech, that rose me up to a certain point. My view on Art, my perspective on Life.
It was the perfect Time and Space in which I could find a new point of view on my creations. It was time for the next dimension. An introduction to Volume.

I went everyday to a village where kraftmens work with white and red earth all day long. They gave me some of it,  and I shared their rythm.

More than 10 years after I’ve have met Marrakech for the first time, I had the great opportunity to come back and rediscover it.

I’ve been invited by David BLOCH, who owns a contemporary art gallery in the gueliz* of Marrakech, in order to start a colaboration through the Love of Art and Marrakech.

After I’ve made my firsts steps in the neighborhood, rediscovering the medina*, touched its walls, smelled its spice, tasted its flavor again..I went back home and started a canvas under the inside trees, in  the Riad* I was living in.

I’ve been inspired by two things. The first one is a strong symbol in Marrocco, Fatima’s hand.
