Toi et Moi - Limited Edition of 5 Print

I whistled before I talked: I was very lucky to be born in a country where there is no winter, where colors are magnificent under the sun, where the spices tickle the nostrils, where birds always sing, and where the sugar has a predominant role in one’s life. I remember ridding the train and admiring the sun caressing the sea and spreading its rays like a glittering gold cape over the waves. The constant stimulation enhanced my observation skills and my love for the colors and light. My parents and I moved to France and this new experience opened my mind to other cultures and develop my passion for traveling. I arrive in the United States in 1999.I have been living in Washington. DC for the past 19 years. When I was twelve, I received a camera for Christmas: I was so happy …..a camera which looked like a black soap box. It had no flash, no lenses. That was the beginning of a long series of trying to capture the light and the bliss of the moment. I took some processing film classes in the dark chamber. I should admit that I take my photographs with my soul not with my brain. I push the button when my heart starts to pound at the view of a scene which ravishes my mind. I decided to be part of the Art sphere in 2015.
