20 X 20
$1,500
An intimate as well as a social activity, tango is for its afionados a love story expressed through music and endless hours of practice.

Intimate
  • Through the motivation propelling one to reach out to the other
  • Through the necessary trust and sense of letting go
  • Through the closeness it creates
  • Through the communication essential to the harmony of the dance

Social
  • Through the mingling of dancers during milongas
  • Through the interchange of partners
  • Through music, evocative of all universal tangos
  • Through the pleasure of observing good dancers evolve

The exhibition

I have been dancing tango for six year and each time, my pleasure is renewed.
I now intend to communicate some of my observations through this painting exhibition.

  • The intimacy of the couple through the tenderness of the abrazo
    • The embrace of
    • Boléo
  • Milongas where the diversity of characters and styles merges
    • Each to his own style
    • Evening with Orchestra
  • For the pleasure of observing good dancer evolve on the dance floor
    • Tango in Québec
    • Tango demontration
  • Tango musicians who constantly thrive at keeping this music alive
    • Guitarist of Otros Aires
    • Bandoneonist of Otros Aires
    • Solo for Bandonéon
    • Orchestra Tipica
    • Contrabass
  • Ultimately, my last two paintings extend beyond the normal scheme, responding to a capacity of self-renewal, as well as to an essential creativity. They undoubtedly were inspired from an integral rule of tango compelling to improvisation.
    • Variation on theme #1
    • Variation on theme #2
