reflection on an artist work: it is only a piece of the puzzle...
I have few works in my studio, sketches more exactly, a bit hesitant and heavier but those works are a very important piece of the puzzle, they mark the transition in my work. I regard those works as very important and although they are not right, not perfect and I almost threw them in the bin! I now see them with a different eye. It allows me to look back and understand how my vision and my work developed. Each work of art of an artist is a piece of the puzzle, each works good, lesser good or even bad is important as this is what’s defines the artist and the route taken to achieve its vision.
