Philippe Pasqua's work: powerful!

Here is a french pinter from the new generation and honestly I'm very touched by his work and also the guy.
What a pinter! His work is so crude, coarse-textured, rough and sometimes brutal, all painted on monumental canvas (twice as bigger than him) but he is, as a person and as a friend, so sweet, so happy, so human. What a paradox!
What he expresses is life without any filter. And it really does something to me... and to a lot of people because he doesn't really need to be presented! His success is already huge.
He is also one of my guests in my last video clip "What I Am" but we can see him just a few seconds... It was part of the deal. ;) We went with Laurent Vermesse, the other director, to his huge studio at St Ouen, and we did the shooting in his freshly decorated toilettes! So Rock 'N' Roll!

Philippe Pasqua does not only paint. He does also amazing sculptures. Please go and check his site:

The photographies of Patrick Braoudé: a little bit of french poetry!

His photos are like paintings, dealing with people, quietness and peace. They are full of life, colorful but above all, they are poetic. His vision of life is as sensitive... as he is.

Patrick Braoudé is also a great film director, scriptwriter, actor and producer.
Very famous here is France, he did a lot of successful movies. Among them, there is the blockbuster called "Neuf Mois" that was adapted in 1995 for the USA movie industry under the name of "Nine Months" (staring Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack).

Check his filmography here!

Patrick Braoudé is also a friend, a real one, an old one. Like the whisky who gets better with time, our friendship grew up and got stronger. I met him a long time ago; we were starring for a friend we had in common, the director and actor Pascal Legitimus.

He also made me the honor to be one of my guests in my last video clip entitled "What I Am":

But it's not the friend that is talking right now. It's just the admirer!

Montmartre

Because I took wonderful pictures (I have to admit I live at the right place!), here are some of them... Yesterday night Montmartre was celebrating.... and it illuminated my window! Love Paris <3

White and pure...

Is white a color? Color of the milk and snow... of my home, my wardrobe, my energy, my will...

"It is the color produced by the reflection, transmission or emission of all wavelengths of visible light, without absorption.

As a symbol, white is the opposite of black, and often represents light in contrast with darkness. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, white is the color most often associated with innocence, perfection, the good, honesty, cleanliness, the beginning, the new, neutrality, lightness, and exactitude."

...Well, I love white!

Kate in an article entitled "White and Pure"... Well, this was not made on purpose.
