Wooster: Who and/or what are some of your influences?

Mankind, anyone being able to do the worst and the best at the same time. A few passionated ones, being better, provode me insipration to paint and become someone good as well.

Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?

I could quote hundred, but I have Andy Goldsworthy in mind for his poetry, Moretti for his amazing drawings. C215 for doing so generous art, and for sure my idol James Brown.

Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?

I am mainly painting portraits of people who inspire me through their exemplar lives and actions I try to catch their humanity and energy. I show my works through different ways (gallery, streets, press) and I also use different techniques. I recently launched a blog www.cheval23.net so that i can present who is hidden behind the portraits I paint

Wooster: What other talent would most like to have?

Without any doubt to play music. Music is the ultimate art, that does not need any translation

Wooster: What do you fear the most?

That I could not hear anymore, this could deprive me of listening music

Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?

To believe in human beings
