I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris? Because my love is near.
It is no accident that propels people like us to Paris. Paris is simply an artificial stage, a revolving stage that permits the spectator to glimpse all phases of the conflict.

To say they found a flat in a blocks of houses which was built after the second World War - and this is the place where I spent my childhood.

Drawing is not only a way to come up with pictures: drawing is a way to educate your eye to understand visual information, organizing it into a more hierarchical way, a more economical way. When you see something, if you draw often and frequently, you examine a room very differently.
