Artwork description

This portrait originated from a composition I conceived during a night spent in an old bar in Berlin. My attention was to a figure illuminated only by a lighter…

“There is this wiry woman who comes to visit me everyday.
She sits at the same place, on the same stool and starts smoking.
She drinks a lot.
Her drunkenness has no limits.
Cigarettes finished, eyelids heavy and closing: the sacred flame is quashed”
