“BARISTA” - 48” X 30” - Acrylic and mixed media. This piece was created for Claude through his wife Isabelle.  This character welcomes their guests in their beautiful home to enjoy a flavourful cup of espresso.  Claude loves great coffee! In his left ear, we find an image of a hipster BARISTA.  In his collar, a burlap coffee sack brought back from my last trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico.   We can also discover articles of “where to find the best coffee in the world” and the definition of BARISTA (meaning barman in Italian). Background: Burlap sack, newspaper articles, map of Montreal…

“FRIDA ET SON CHAT III” – 60” x 48” – Acrylic and other materials on canvas.

Between multiple layers of paint, (flower petals), we can discover hand written love letters by Frida to Diego Rivera. On her neck and chest, a coffee burlap sack brought from my last trip to Mexico. Notes: Biography of Frida Kahlo in Spanish, Mexican flags, Mexican coffee burlap sack, writings (calligraphy) of Frida Kahlo, etc

“Que Du Bonheur” – 48” X 36” – Acrylic and other materials on canvas.

“FRIDA ET SON CHAT II” – 47” x 39” – Acrylic and other materials on canvas. Inspired by the original version “FRIDA ET SON CHAT, although this time with a wide scale of red tones from scarlet to crimson. The impact is equally explosive. Nevertheless FRIDA comes out with supremacy and confidence. Notes: Mexican newspaper articles, biography of Frida Kahlo in Spanish, Mexican flags, etc.
