L'Hermione

This painting is part of my ongoing tribute to L’Hermione, the historic frigate that carried the Marquis de Lafayette to America in 1780. Created with my natural pigments, they reflect both the spirit of exploration and the enduring cultural dialogue between France and the United States.

I donated these works to the Consulate General of France in San Francisco to support the restoration of L’Hermione. Their auction contributes directly to the preservation of this symbol of shared history, liberty, and friendship across the Atlantic.

L'Hermione and Ai

This painting was animated to bring L’Hermione back to life in motion, its sails rising once more, its hull breathing with the rhythm of the sea.

Through AI, the original work made with natural pigments becomes a living image, creating a dialogue between ancestral craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. In this way, the frigate’s story is not recalled as a memory of the past, but carried forward as a symbol of exploration, resilience, and shared heritage in the present.
