Unknowingly, and exceptionally, I started two works simultaneously. The Majorelle Mountains (shades of ultramarine blue) and the "Similar Destinations" mountains. I never think, however, that I had a particular attraction to mountains. They came to me, and in completely opposite tones. Some Majorelle colors, others in neutral tones (earth colors). The most surprising thing, after having created these works, during my research on Jacques Majorelle, I discovered that the Atlas, a mountain range in North Africa, would guide his entire creative process. So, without knowing it, I painted mountains, at the same time as I immersed myself in Majorelle.

Jacques Majorelle's paintings were made famous in Paris, where they were part of a movement that celebrated Josephine Baker. For my part, Baker's jazz, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald have always enlivened my creative time.
