Why Salma Hayek? "Choosing Salma Hayek, a Mexican actress with an amber complexion and black eyes, to represent this young girl with a pale complexion was a new challenge for me." Olivier Masmonteil
Salma Hayek's life, mother, wife, actress, producer, has more imagination than cinema. Like that of her idol, Frida Kahlo, whose role she played in Julie Taymor's film and for which she was nominated for the Oscar for best actress in 2003. Her trajectory outlines a destiny of insubordination, which begins in Vera Cruzo where she was born, continues in Hollywood where she has imposed herself as an actress, producer and director, and today is anchored in Paris where she lives in part.
30% of the price of the work is for the benefit of the Maison des femmes de Saint-Denis.

The artist
Bio
At the Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, he already painted the skies as Rubens did, an exercise that allows one to understand questions of transparency, opacity, superimposition of materials and colors. He entitled this first part of his life "The possibility of painting". In the second part, "The pleasure of painting", he granted himself the right to paint all subjects, landscapes, genre scenes, portraits...
He was fascinated by Vermeer's The Girl with the Pearl. It is for him the quintessence of the masterpiece, for its timelessness. He never stops painting it to try to pierce the mystery of its look.
