Mussorgsky, in "Pictures at an Exhibition", wanders among the works of his architect friend Hartmann.
The first of ten "paintings" is said to have been inspired by the drawing of a toy in the shape of a nutcracker.
Modest Mussorgsky, having suffered from being small and ugly, must have identified with the gnome overhanging the nutcracker, but in a good mood, constantly stumbling and getting up proudly (that's what I hear in this music). The general form is reminiscent of a large question mark...but the attitude, casual and assured, even in balance, evokes an answer.
The nut for me symbolizes what is hard and ugly but delicious if you bother to enter it. This applies to any individual, to any work of art. It is also the reward after the effort. Happiness is earned.

Born December 23, 1942 in Heliopolis near Cairo (Egypt).

Painting lessons with Angelo de Ritz. Arrived in France in 1959.

Entrance examination to the Beaux-Arts in 1963. Bachelor of letters at Paris la Sorbonne. Three master classes with Salvador Dali at the Hotel Meurisse, Paris in 1967.

According to the destination of my biography I can classify myself as "autodidact"...

Stayed in Tel Aviv (Israel) from 1969 to 1974 where I taught drawing and worked as an interior designer.

Many participations in various fairs and numerous prizes.

I got my own "Opus 31" at the Marché Dauphine in St-Ouen from 1990 to 2000; I exhibited and sold my works exclusively there.

I permanently exhibit in my studio; it's my studio-housing, I receive visitors there by appointment by phone or message.

I have the pleasure of considering Artmajeur as my catalog reasoned.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
