In real life&#8230;\nThat&#8217;s a whole different story. As a result, fighting on a daily\nbasis is the destiny of many people. And I am no exception. What&#8217;s\nfunny is that I have absolutely no sense of direction and in my\nwanderings I admit I got a little lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, no tears this\ntime, but a great burst of laughter. Yes, lost twice: with myself and\nwith this beautiful city in the Netherlands. I have a very important\nmeeting. A meeting that I have been waiting for for years. An\nencounter that will change my life: Vincent Van Gogh. I have wanted\nto visit his museum for so long. However, this is not my first time\nhere but&#8230; There, I have the advantage of being alone and slowly\ndeciding my own schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am there in my\nthoughts, when something catches my eye. To be honest, it is not a\nthing but a color. Not only one but several colors. Here I am, a\nflorist with a multitude of tulips. It&#8217;s beautiful, it&#8217;s magical.\nThis is typically what brings joy to my heart. I have time, I take\nit. I decide to get as close as possible to this Eden. Immediately my\neyes are drawn to a specific color: madder. A quick reminder: madder\nis a red dye extracted from dyer&#8217;s madder, a plant in the Rubiaceae\nfamily. The shade of the lacquers varies from pale pink to blood red.\nThe one who hypnotized me turns purple. It is prodigious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I leave taking with\nme, in my memories, this color that I intend to paint. Madder Lacquer\nTulips&#8230;it&#8217;s intoxicating! Here they are, in all modesty, with all\nmy soul, in an unusual posture with leaves from elsewhere, from my\nmind in fact! They gave me back my shine, my desire, my life and so\nmuch more. Thank you sweet nature for your generosity, your thirst\nfor existence, your energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was walking\nwithout a destination through the streets of Amsterdam in late\nsummer. Looking for something, maybe myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on cardboard \u2013 12 x 9,5 inch \u2013 Unique work I walk without a destination through the streets of Amsterdam at the end of summer.
