50 Faces of Balmain was the last project of the year. It turned out to be a success. I have spent hours and hours painting 50 portraits. All the subjects were local fellows from Balmain.
I have been painting in my Balmain studio for the
last three years and Balmain inspires me a lot. This is where I get my
morning coffee, where I walk when I take a break to refresh myself under
the sunlight! While wondering around here, I feel happy and free. I
just thought that this project would be a great opportunity to meet with
more Balmainians and to allow more people to know my works and I.
Choosing people from Balmain as subjects of my paintings was kind of a
payback. I thought I owed this to Balmain, as it gives me the energy and
inspiration in my life.
