Each work I paint serves to repair a piece of life
The one who walks slowly but goes far .
Zérafa
ZÉRAFA – UNYK 251
160cm x 160 cm
1 Ruby Pink
Pigments caméléons
Figurines phosphorescentes
Zérafa, en langue haoussa, signifie :
Celle qui marche doucement, mais qui va loin.
C’est un tableau qui ne cherche pas à briller par l’éclat immédiat,
mais par la présence lente, affirmée, souveraine.
Il se déploie en violet profond, cette couleur des royaumes invisibles,
de la dignité silencieuse, de la transformation intérieure.
Il y a aussi des reflets roses caméléons,
comme des battements de cœur discrets, mais vivants.
Majestueux par sa taille – 1,60 m x 1,60 m –
il n’envahit pas, il enveloppe.
Il ne domine pas, il invite.
Dans sa texture, quelques fissures ouvertes deviennent des chemins.
Et dans l’ombre, lorsque la nuit tombe,
on voit apparaître des petites figurines phosphorescentes :
les enfants de la rue, ces êtres qu’on ne voit pas toujours le jour,
mais qui se reveillent quand le monde s’éteint.
ZÉRAFA est un appel à marcher à son rythme,
à ne pas se presser pour plaire,
à viser loin, doucement, en gardant la lumière
même dans les plis les plus sombres.
Zérafa's Mission
His mission is as noble as his presence:
to make visible those whom the world has forgotten.
The funds raised through this painting will be entirely dedicated to five street children, whom I continue to support.
Children arriving on the street at a very young age, sometimes as young as 4 or 5, without papers, without an official name, without a recognized past.
Zérafa's first mission will be to provide them with an administrative existence:
to obtain for each of them an identity card or a passport, so that they can finally be recognized, and exist in the eyes of the world.
In 2023 I already obtained their birth certificates .
Of this amount, 10% will be directly allocated to this mission.
And for those who wish to take their gesture further,
It is possible to add a free donation, in addition to the price of the artwork.
If you would like personalized follow-up, or to be informed of what your contribution has helped to achieve, simply say so:
I'll gladly send you the news :-)
Zérafa is more than just a painting.
That's a promise:
that slowness can lead to great things,
that the invisible can become light,
And that art can transform lives...slowly, one after another.
