It would be dishonest to say that I am insensitive to the reactions around me and that I paint in a bubble, cut off from the world. The key for me is to know what importance I give to each of these indications. Obsessing over one of these directions and making that your sole goal is a recipe for disappointment.

This makes 6,000 people out of a Mauritian population of 1.25 million and 8.1 billion worldwide. To think that I am a famous artist is very far from the truth. I have been painting for 38 years and I have only exhibited once abroad, in an exhibition in Lausanne where my paintings were lost among hundreds of other exhibitors. Nothing to brag about. Sales of my paintings are increasing and I am very happy about it.
