‘La Reine de la Route’, Aluminum Dye Sublimation, 75 X 120 cm (30 X 48 inches), 2018 Citroën, the French automobile manufacturer, introduced in 1934 the revolutionary Traction Avant model - the world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car. Until the year 1954 only black Citroën Traction Avant cars were sold, and in 1939 the 6 cylinders and 15 horsepower model was unveiled. This model was at the time one of the fastest cars in France, the prime reason for the French organized crime bosses and the French police alike, to eagerly adopt it. Thus, the Traction Avant was involved in numerous police-gangsters pursuits and consequently nicknamed - La Reine de la Route - The Queen of the Road. This car triggers my sentimental feelings since it was the first car I was exposed to as a child. Our neighbor was one of the first blissful owners of this car, even though he wasn’t neither a police officer nor a mafia boss, well I cannot be absolutely sure about this latter fact. As a child, I always have been dreaming that the black car would become colorful, and the present work is therefore a sheer childhood dream comes true. I made sure to paint the car meticulously, being loyal to the technical details as they were in reality, from the windshield wipers to the hood handles. The only exception lies with the car colors, where my imagination had no restraints.
