My Parisian friend Etienne asked me a few years ago, “Why France?” What is it you like about France, that you come here so often and want to spend even more time here? What is it about France—especially Paris—that interests you? Why is it so important for you to exhibit your artwork here in France?
I thought it was a good question. I reflected on my answer for about 24 hours, then went back to Etienne and replied:
“The aesthetics in France speak to the aesthetics of my soul.”
He then said he understood.
And for you, dear friend, rather than share more words about what this place means to me, I will share photos that I hope will convey—more profoundly than words—why I want to spend more time in this beautiful place.
Merci beacoup, et à bientôt!
