A factory in Normandie, France. 
At first this factory was a spilling mill using cotton fibers. 
Then in the twenties it was used to make asbestos clothes. 
After a while it was proved that this material leaded to numeral laborers death  contracting cancers. 
Only some decades after the death of these people did the factory close! 
It passed a long time to put it down definitively because it was a nightmare to clean the site. 

This is a visual urban like representation of the effect of human beings' decisions on everyday life. Construction destruction; power and money whatever the consequences for others.

French figurative painter known for bold colourful urban landscapes. Member of society of SALON D'AUTOMNE Paris Member of the Taylor Foundation, Paris Feb. 2023 PARIS (salon Les Artistes Français) March 2023 : LONDON :THE OTHER ART FAIR August 2023: TOKYO ART CENTER, JAPAN Born in the outskirts of Paris. I live and work in Paris suburbs. Living in a big city for half my life has influenced my work. I have a fascination for cities: noisy, overwhelming and lively, yet hiding people loneliness. I paint mostly urban landscapes: the interiors (shops, cafe, theatre house) full of details and colourful with very few details for the people: they are just part of the scenery. I’ve worked for the theatre for ten years and that experience gave me a love of colours, of framing my subject a certain way. I’m not looking for the exact repliqua of the reality but for an emotion I want to convey in my paintings through colors. My work is made of lots of layers of acrylic on a canvas, quick rough brush strokes and vivid colours. I use acrylic because it’s a medium that corresponds to my character: I’m impatient and this material suits me for it allows my painting a speed, a raw aspect, sometimes violent; I work in a kind of urgency.
