Faces of Francis

Imagine being in a studio next to an artist. What inspires him? Memories of a distant volcanic island somewhere in the Mediterranean, of the colors and scents of hot Tangier with its pistachios and saffron, of all the journeys, real and imagined, that still stir the senses. After all, what is inspiration? It is an imaginary bridge from memories to desires. Created under the impression of the mysterious triptychs of Francis Bacon – a brilliant avant-garde artist – Faces of Francis opens with an unusual combination of saffron and roasted pistachios. It then resonates with gourmand tenderness and airy freshness, as if floating between dream and reality, shimmering with smoky and woody notes.
