The very colorful works that you see here are the result of sixteen years of work in schools in Quebec where I have so far had the chance to create around 170 murals. These short-term projects (three days) helped me to create a vocabulary of images where the simplicity of lines and the speed of execution of the drawing are essential.
Over the years I have been fortunate to encourage these young artists to follow their visions and stay true to their own abilities to create in the present moment. With this series, I question in a light and humorous way our sense of identity, where we have both unique and similar characteristics with each other.
