A 39 y.o french guy who was a visual art teacher, now working as a chef. I am sometimes trying to dry up the ocean, always failed, but keep trying.... Feel free to ask me... I will try to take the time to answer...just to not let the internet make the human being disappear behind the screen... "Nous sommes pour moitié ce que nous sommes et pour moitié ce que nous pensons être. Dans le torrent une moitié parvient a la rive, l'autre se noie." F. Pessoa
I worked in art world during more than 10 years, but much more than all I seen in art galleries, artist workshop, I am always marveled at the ephemeral work by waves on the sand. Every 12 hours, the low tide offers us a new exhibition. I worked with some very famous artists, but the sea is a very special one to my heart.

This place is like a magic open sky museum.

Alfred Stieglitz attached this photograph to a letter for Georgia O’Keeffe, dated July 10, 1929. Below the photograph he wrote, “I have destroyed 300 prints to-day. And much more literature. I haven’t the heart to destroy this…”
