 Homage to Marlene Dietrich, one of the world’s greatest and most generous humanitarians and Samaritans who fed and saved the life of thousands of people for more than 25 years…who transformed her Paris apartment into a hospital, a library, a kitchen and a shelter to all those who needed bread and a place to sleep and feel safe… One of the greatest ladies of all time. She was dear to my parents, especially to my mother Alexandra, my aunt   Reverend Soeure  Marie- Ange Gabrielle and  who shall remain a such for me in this life and the one to follow…

St. John Perse qui a boulverse les paroles et les intentions sur mes toiles…

 A AUDREY HEPBURN, L’ANGE DES ENFANTS…   

To AUDREY HEPBURN who brought the light to my eyes …   A very dear friend I miss and think about in my strength and weaknesses…

   To Melina Mercouri, my beloved friend in this life and beyond, whose heart is bigger than the world we live in.

 Jean Gabin m’a fait confesser dans un silence eloquent traduit et vibrant dans des couleurs et formes  qui me trahissent et  des souhaits que j’ai perdus dans l’attente de l’immortalite…                                                                                    

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     A Danielle Darrieux qui a verse sur mes toiles une larme du passé et des sourires du lendemain…parfois, un peu plus, peut etre la force du destin, une couleur du crepuscule et l’attente des jours perdus…
