Dervish/es

The drunkenness of colors, traits and forms, has given rise to urban and alternative lifestyles, always in motion, and likely to be renewed. When she combines with the beauty of an iconoclastic and sober improvisation, she embellishes our vision of the sacred, in an unexpected way. The word 'Dervish' is a Persian word. It expresses the idea of a life that is based on humility, and on a blossomed interiority, in hatching.

It is from this angle that, AKA Louis, proposes to us his second major opus of colorful sketches and paintings, giving us a glimpse of what can be a positive life, drawn with perseverence, in response of great difficulties of life, face to exclusion, stigma, and margin.

It is by making the difference, an originality, that one come out of the flawed trap of the urban and modern world, that one finds, slowly but surely his path to light and peace.

The book also contains 7 poetic texts from the author, around the revisited theme of Dervishism, and Drunkenness. A very nice book to obtain urgently. Satisfaction garantee.
