Je suis ravi de vous inviter à découvrir le premier chapitre du projet « La vie en rose » sur YouTube. Ce projet présente de l'art vidéo et de l'animation numérique, avec des textes, une scénographie et une musique originale composées spécialement par moi pour ce concept. Le projet se poursuivra avec une série de peintures suivant le même discours poétique – un projet sur la liberté, sur le fait de vivre authentiquement et de s’échapper des contraintes sociales et des mentalités dépassées. C’est une évasion de la société contemporaine qui, souvent de manière conformiste, nous pousse à suivre des chemins qui ne sont pas les nôtres.
Soyez authentique, soyez vous-même, et construisez cette « vie en rose » qui vous rend vraiment heureux. Dépassez les limites imposées et découvrez votre potentiel dans une société qui tend souvent à vous standardiser. Affrontez chaque jour avec courage et soyez l'architecte de votre propre destin dans un monde où il ne suffit pas de survivre, mais de vivre pleinement.
Je vous invite à regarder le projet « La vie en rose » sur YouTube et à faire partie de ce message. N’oubliez pas de liker et de vous abonner si cela vous plaît !

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the first track from my innovative project, "Colours without a Name"! This multidisciplinary project seamlessly combines visual arts, poetry, and digitally orchestrated jazz music, creating a truly unique artistic experience.
"Colours without a Name" explores the sensory interplay between colors, sounds, and painting, translating the emotions and vibrations of jazz and poetic verses into an integrated composition.
You can listen to the song here on the Artmajeur page, or discover the full version with English subtitled lyrics by visiting the youtube link into your browser.

Dear Gabriel,
we would like to express our thanks for the beautiful painting. It arrived safely and in perfect condition, and we truly love it. We are very happy with it and wanted to let you know.

Hello, Christian. I’m truly happy to know that Safari Dreaming has found someone who genuinely appreciates it. This artwork is the first piece in the Ceasornicăria Taus (Taus’ Clock Shop) project, an imaginative experiment that playfully explores reality, memory, and time. I hope it brings you inspiration and joy every day, and I invite you to continue following my artistic journey, as more works from this project will follow.

Merci beaucoup pour votre message et votre appréciation.
Je vous félicite pour votre projet. J'ai visionné le premier chapitre et je l'ai trouvé audacieux et haut en couleurs... tout ce que j'adore. J'adore également l'idée de ne pas se contonner à une seule forme d'art si on se sent capable de la compléter avec d'autres expressions artistiques pour en faire une aventure plurielle. Merci pour le partage. Je vous souhaite une bonne continuation.
Fantastic job! Your artistic vision and skill are impressive. Feel free to visit my gallery for more of my work!
