"Does there exist in the world a lighter thing, a more delicate thing, a more convincing thing, a more intimate thing than a small engraving offered in your thirsty eyes ? Can one find something simpler than a small bit of paper carefully embellished by the hands of an artist who invites you to live his concept of beauty, to share his message, his ideas ? In our strange universe where a authentic and close friend communication between human beings is dangerously lacking, in this world oppressed by consumption with excess, a link is offered by the artist this creator of beauty always present despite everything, beauty whose man remains avid. And what’s the meaning for us ? Small images, small steps towards the immense promise of the future... " Slobo General manager of the Triennial.
