Once upon a time, I was at my friends house. And because they were absolute fans of this film, we watched \u201cMoulin Rouge\u201d together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Does it ring the bell ? It was in 2001 with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in the main roles, respectively Satine and Christian. I had no idea what awaited me. But really none. From the first minutes I instantly fell into the story, both timeless and dreamlike with these settings straight out of the tale of the Arabian Nights. And the music… These tremendous voices, this emotion still haunt me today. Tears are not far away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this film\nI discovered the famous Moulin Rouge. I have always lived in the\nParis suburbs. I have always went to Paris regularly. And yet, I have\nnever seen the Moulin Rouge. What shocked me the most was its size.\nBecause obviously I knew there was a Moulin Rouge in Paris. But I\nimagined it big, directly on the ground, imposing, in fact a real big\nbuilding. And it\u2019s not! In the film it’s very small, in height…\nSo I told myself that it was for the purposes of the scenario, of the\nstory. After all, reconstruct the Moulin Rouge\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I went there to\nsee for myself what this mill looked like. And definitely, it’s not\nbig. It is barely visible unless you look up. And yet as soon as I\nsaw it… I was overwhelmed. It\u2019s so anachronistic and known around\nthe whole world and yet so discreet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been under\nits spell ever since. I didn\u2019t paint right away in my life.\nPainting came to me much later. But I haven’t forgotten. And one day,\nout of the blue, I saw the photo and everything came back to me. This\nevening with friends, this film full of colors and emotions, this\nfirst real meeting with the Moulin Rouge in the streets of Paris,\nfilled with an eclectic crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brushes and\ncolors took over and highlighted my whole soul. This is how the\nMoulin Rouge came to life. This is how when I look at it, the Moulin\nRouge warms my heart. That\u2019s the way it is, as simple as that and\nfor a very long time to come\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
