And I wanted to share a few photos of this event organized by the Mayanne évènementiel agency in Paris, represented by Ms Astou Diallo.
I would like to thank ADNEC for the quality of their services and their availability.
Special thanks to ASTOU, who has become my artist agent.
Today, she’s in charge of making my art known beyond all borders, and I’m sure our collaboration is just beginning!
When trust is there, it pushes me to my limits.
What a joy to meet all these artists from different countries.
Taking the “temperature” of the art market in the countries represented by their artists.
Exchanging feelings and experiences, chatting, laughing and feeling that, even if this first edition wasn’t perfect, we had experienced something special that brought us together.
An “elsewhere” that united us for those 3 days and that lives on thanks to social networks.
Now I need to perfect my English conversation, so as to improve the quality of my exchanges with all of you ! It’s so important to me…
I would like to mention Impress print, Abu dhabi, Mr Habir Basheer and his team.
If you are passing through this city and need a print job, I warmly recommend this company.
Thanks
I’m lucky enough to be one of the artists selected for this wonderful adventure !
For over 3 months, I’ve been assiduously preparing for this event with :
I leave it to you to discover the website, created especially for the event and by the organizing company Mayanne évènementiel here :
The program includes the opening of the show on September 20, with :
As you can see, getting out of one’s comfort zone takes on a whole new meaning here, and I have to admit, it’s a real challenge !
As the country has a particular sensibility for the marine world, I chose to present my more or less abstract fish with my favorite techniques.
Here is the press kit written especially designed for the event :
And if you know any friends or relations who live in the Emirates area, don’t hesitate to share the information.
Admission is free, just register directly on the website here :
Artists of the collective “les ateliers font le printemps” have decided to organize its doors once a year.
For the past 3 years, a growing number of artists have been organizing to open their workshops, invite colleagues without a space and present their work.
An annual opportunity to push the door of a space of creativity, full of surprises!
A good time to ask questions and feed on shared experiences.
This will be my opportunity to introduce you to this new workspace and explain my different painting techniques :
The neighbouring artists, from the third hill collective, will also be waiting for you in the building opposite mine and I will welcome Fabrice LEITO in the third place space.

Once is not customary but still!
Last summer, the Community of Lake Aiguebelette, and under the initiative of Marie-Lou Nivière, organized its first painting exhibition.
Thirty exhibitors gathered in 5 communes around the lake.
Thus, the numerous exhibitors were able to discover their beautiful artistic sensibility through various paintings and sculptures.
Unfortunately, we had a particularly stormy weekend and this did not allow the public to move in numbers.
Nevertheless, the experiment has been acclaimed and is continuing in another form.
Indeed, this year, 4 artists will meet in the same place to present works with the theme of Nature under its most beautiful assets.
Animals and landscapes more or less abstract will rub shoulders to make you dream. The particularly soothing setting of the lake will also be conducive to relaxation and wonder.
The vernissage is offered on Sunday, August 6 in the late afternoon, facing the lake and in the large room of the lake house.
An appointment that promises beautiful moments of exchanges with the public.
From January 6 to 23, 2022, you can come and discover many painters and sculptors.
Take advantage of this totally free and open edition every afternoon and from 10am to 5pm during the weekends.
I will propose 2 large formats entitled “explosion of life” and a format 30×30
Finally, to prolong the event, a virtual presentation of the works will be proposed on the website of the association after the event:
http://www.lhivernaldelyon.com/
A fair dedicated to design and interior and exterior fittings. Designers are gathered around individual stands to show their know-how, share their ideas and exchange with a public eager for novelties and personalized creations.
This is my first participation and I am delighted to meet you there to present my range of artistic creations, centred on my favourite themes: Nature and Animals.
Works made on different papers and with various artistic techniques.
THE ALPES HOME TRADE FAIR REVIVAL
An exceptional year, an exceptional resort!
10 years after its creation, Alpes Home is going to settle for the first time in Isère. The resort of Les 2 Alpes, known for its glacier and its skiing in summer, will host the 11th edition of the show. The HOME OF RIDE will become the ALPES HOME OF RIDE for a weekend.
The programme will continue to include architecture, decoration, design and the art of mountain living, with a sprinkling of crafts, local artists and a large dose of the outdoors.
Owners of flats and chalets, hotels, restaurants and shops… architecture and decoration enthusiasts, construction, fitting out and renovation professionals, key players in the mountain will meet at the foot of this eternal glacier, for three days and two evenings of exhibitions, conferences and highlights that will mark the summer of 2021!

In 2020, I contacted the Lyon Winter Painting Association to join their group and start presenting my work in my new adopted city.
My application was successful and I was able to exhibit, not at the Bondy Palace as planned at the beginning of January, but virtually on their website www.lhivernaldelyon.com.
Many associations have had to take on a new role : that of “culture broadcaster in virtual mode” and I thank them for this beautiful ability to adapt.
This is how this first experience allowed me to be invited to the INTERNATIONAL ARTISTIC SALON OF PUY IN VELAY which will take place in August 2021. A positive and promising result for artists deprived of exhibition venues in 2020 !

OTHER SELECTION: THE ALP, HEAR Academie Lyonnaise de peinture
An academy founded in 1994, with the aim of helping and encouraging pictorial activities in the knowledge of the visual arts. It brings together 130 members recruited on file selection. This structure offers the possibility to exhibit on specific shows that are :
Berthelot Lounge; the independents’ lounge, the ArtAlp lounge and other events for members.
Since my file has been validated, I will be able to meet with Artists from Lyon and exhibit with this group shortly. News to come…

I was supposed to present my fish on this beautiful show during the weekend of Toussaint 2020 but it didn’t go as planned and I hope this time to be able to hang my paintings on May 7, 8 and May 2021 at the CORUM in Montpellier. That’s why I continue to paint my little fish that I love so much!

Finally, this summer my works will be visible for free at the Consulate of Japan in Lyon. Consulate officers wait for a presentation of cherry blossoms and koi carp; two themes that characterize their country well and which I paint with great enthusiasm.
As you are no stranger, artists can no longer show their work because exhibitions are cancelled one after the other and as a result, they have difficulty working normally, as do many of you.
So what do we do? A Door closed AND ANOTHER OPEN: Businesses, for some, are finding it very difficult to stay open and I have asked these essential “entrepreneurs” to make myself known.
Indeed, having arrived in Lyon just recently, it is very difficult, despite my very good and great will, to show my work and offer my painting courses locally.
Well, thanks to this support, the inhabitants of the neighborhood will be able to discover my world of painting and know that I run painting courses for individuals and employees in companies.
I hope to be able to complete this first project of painting internships and thus help the association Les Cabirottes which relies on our animations to simply survive and maintain this offer of room rental.
