At the same time, he plays music in differents groups.Along the way, he met Mathilde den Hollander ( painter ), Marc Emeric ( painter and ceramist ), and Frans Krajberg ( painter and sculptor ). These decisive encounters will change his life. In 2004, he decided to devote his entire time to painting.For more information:www.louluneau.comIn the studio,I take a canvas, the materials, colours, water and solvents a stool.I sit and I look, nothing... nothing happens... I persist, I empty my mind, I try to reach this famous state of creation so dear to Brancusi, still nothing... So, I wait. And suddenly something cuts through me I try to seize it, it goes quickly, too quickly and it escapes.A few strokes on the canvas. Back to my stool. The light is fading.Tomorrow is another day.
