    \n
  1. What is the height of misery?<\/strong>
    \nWar.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Where would like to live?<\/strong>
    \nI would like to live in a temperate region. In France, why not in Paris if it was located in the South, by the sea.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. What is your idea of happiness on earth?<\/strong>
    \nThis is abstract. It deals with emptying, something close to God.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. What are the faults you indulge?<\/strong>
    \nI’m indulgent for non premeditated faults.<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Which book characters do you\u00a0 prefer?<\/strong>
    \nNone in particular, when I was young I loved D’Artagnan, maybe it still.<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Which historical character do you prefer ?<\/strong>
    \nAt the moment, the Dalai-Lama.<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. Who are you heroines in real life ?<\/strong>
    \nMy wife I think.<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. And your fictional heroine ?<\/strong>
    \nThe Muse, that is, all women, an inspiration for the artist. But that is a traditional side that remains for all artists.<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. Who is your favourite writer?<\/strong>
    \nI don’t have a favourite.<\/em><\/li>\n
  10. And your favourite painter ?<\/strong>
    \nMany… One day it can be Fernand L\u00e9ger, next day it can Picasso, or Miro. I think it’s quite simplistic to have\u00a0 favourites. Sometimes, one prefers certain people rather than others. Among modern painters, I like G\u00e9rard Garouste, Christian Boltanski, Richard Long, Ladislas Kijno.<\/em><\/li>\n
  11. And your favourite musician?<\/strong>
    \nAll black singers, classical music with voices, the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Phil Spector, John Lennon, Charles Trenet, \u2026 and many others \u2026<\/em><\/li>\n
  12. Your favourite quality in human beings?<\/strong>
    \nHonesty.<\/em><\/li>\n
  13. And your favourite virtue?<\/strong>
    \nTolerance.<\/em><\/li>\n
  14. Your main fault?<\/strong>
    \nI interrupt people talking.<\/em><\/li>\n
  15. Your favorite hobby?<\/strong>
    \nPainting and listening.<\/em><\/li>\n
  16. Who would you have liked to be ?<\/strong>
    \nActually, apart from myself, I don’t know who else I could have been.<\/em><\/li>\n
  17. What is the best advice you were given ?<\/strong>
    \nI was told to stop messing around.<\/em><\/li>\n
  18. What do you hate above all ?<\/strong>
    \nAbove all, I hate conflict..<\/em><\/li>\n
  19. What is the reform you like best?<\/strong>
    \nI’d like the income tax to be stopped.<\/em><\/li>\n
  20. How do you feel at the moment ?<\/strong>
    \nSo so. I am never serene, but I stay positive, optimistic. I always feel so so. Regarding my profession, I am still well established. You can find optimism in my painting, even if the world is in a mess. Indeed, I don’t think about it every day, but my painting reflects it. In reality, people think I am worried, if not paranoid.<\/em><\/li>\n
  21. What is your motto ?<\/strong>
    \nMy motto: find a way to evolve, and continue to learn. That’s power. I already have the power to study and to have an occupation that allows me to do so.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
