en route to dakar

this is the title of Mimi Mollica's photographic essay shot in Dakar, Senegal.

the photos themselves are amazing, they capture the transitory and disruptive moment

when the new motorway was being built.

please have a look at these photos if you want to see these paintings for what they are:

starting from many years ago

i have always liked drawing and painting

and i now find that it is a way for me to relax

and express my self in other way than words.

my latest paintings (mini) are mainly based on photographs

and they are apart of a project i am doing with my brother,

a photographer.

we work together. he takes the pictures, i paint them,

giving them another dimension.

the originality of the image is in the photograph as it capture

the moment in that particular frame of time and space.

however the re-production of the photograph stops it, and

at the same time it diminishes it and elevates it.....

if you know what i mean

i have posted some images from the series in my other blog

but i will now keep them in this separate space

je suis 'artiste!
