This painting belongs to a series of portraits of writers whose work I appreciate.
Here, Charles Baudelaire, the French poet, born and died in Paris. Celebrated by his contemporaries, whether authors, composers or critics, Baudelaire today belongs to the category of the great Masters.
He is for me a strong influence, mainly in his period of prose poems. Some of his texts have been with me for many years and I keep coming back to them, such as The dog and the vial or a hemisphere in your hair.
