Lot Essay

« J’aime toutes les couleurs. Je ne pense jamais à la couleur que j’emploierai. Le plus important, c’est la sonorité, pas les couleurs. Il faut que la lumière soit là. »

« I love all colors. I never think about the color I will use. The most important thing is the tonality, not the colors. The light must be there. »
