I joined the French Institute in my home town because they had a lot of his work and he was the reason why I got pulled into art at that young age. The work was so vast and different, so fantastic, I couldn't imagine the things he gave life to, on my own. I understood that then as I do now. It was greatness and he shared it through art. By that process he made me a rich man. Rich of thought. A true treasure. I have no words that can express how saddened I am by the news of his passing. It simply makes me cry and hurt. This is an irreparable loss.
