I can’t end this year without making a tribute to a friend . I have been just able to reach a drawing in my French studio and I’m glad to post it in homage to his passing in 1983, 30 years ago, a little bit earlier during that year.
30 years ago passed away my “Siamese-Twin-Brother” and mentor after the most painful illness, he was 24.
Still today, I can’t complete and sign a painting without thinking about him and our apprenticeship of the life.
I made this drawing during an art class in high school, he was 13 and me 14.
