Illustration I made last month for an art exhibition, based on Paul Colin’s original poster of Josephine Baker. This has been paired with some amber jewels made by my parents and is part of a bigger project regarding Josephine Baker, who has entered the Panthéon in Paris on the 30th November 2021, the first black woman to receive one of the highest honors in France. Lately I had the occasion to discover the life of this stunning woman and I invite you all to read and find out about all the amazing things she’s done throughout her whole life, not just in dance and art but also her important role and bravery during WW2, then for her civil rights activism, and so much more. She was an absolute hurricane. I have done another drawing of her but it’s a private commission and I’ll have to ask the owner about it ^^

I'm laughing so hard. I can't imagine how baffling this must be to foreigners. "What do you mean you can't agree on where is located a tidal-island??"

5th December 2021 // Crown Princess Victoria started her visit to France. She spent the day at the Swedish Institute, the only cultural center that Sweden has abroad, to mark its 50th anniversary. During the day she met with artists who operate from the Institute and attended a children's opera and tea party. The Swedish royals have a close relationship with French as the Bernadotte dynasty began with French born Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, Victoria's great-x5 grandfather

Je n’ai pas eu envie de poster de photo car je trouve tellement irrespectueux et méchants les gens qui volent les photos sans même mentionner l’artiste.
