When I finished my photography course my teacher said: “Now it is up to each one to choose what to photograph” and I did so, I wanted to make visible the invisible, the old men who were asking for or selling some craft on the street”. She wanted to shoot his close-ups and make people see them, name them and make them no longer invisible.

Her words “The loss of my husband, in a car accident, led me to painting. I discovered in her the refuge for my feelings and the activity that painting, during those moments, all my responsibilities as a mother of three little ones evaporated and Sole painter appeared.”“I decided to also paint my “old men”, but not simply paint them, I needed to capture their lives in some way and I chose to do it on rose novels from the early twentieth century that perfectly expressed the contrast between the romanticism of those novels where everything was perfect and love it was forever and real life was often hard and sad.”
