Une Pure merveille Joyeuses Pâques mon bon ami

Fantastic colors,lighting and composition. Splendid work!!!!

wunderschöne arbeit, kräftige & strahlende farben ein rundum gelungenes Artwork. man spüt direkt die Hitze in den Ländern von Marokko und Ägypten cheers and have a wonderful week York

Jean has a distinct style, easily recognizable. The strokes are sure and bold the favorite colors being blue and ocra. His works are the whole time progressing like the painting today, a true masterpiece. The great advantage the real artists have over CG, is above all about depicting humans in relaxing and natural poses.

Alleys hold mystery and adventure. This image holds all of that and is very visually appealing.

Walking into the unknown very mysterious superb work !!

Une œuvre grande et belle mon ami, ont une composition très équilibrée et très belles couleurs, j'espère que vous aviez de très joyeuses Pâques.....!!!

What a wonderful and exciting place to wander around. Mysterious and beautiful. :)

Tellement bien fait Jean! Une oeuvre exceptionnel :)

your perspective and sense of placement is always first class

l'etre et le neant,une lecture deja tres ancienne,mais il est vrai que le cghemin entre ces deux extremes peut etre tres court!! superbe tableau!!

As you know I love your style of art, and this one really appeals to me. I find myself feeling the warmth that emulates from it, and wish I could tag along and find our what lies around that corner. The whole scene is very uplifting, I love this. hugs Jane xx

Thanks for sharing your masterpiece, I love your work and ideas, I will always support you.

It is very interesting the position of the persons in the alley and the contrasts between them. I can see diferent worlds as well as traditions or ways of life; however, the differences are tiny, in an upper concept of life. The mistery and the unknown connect them and atract them into a similar path...this door is, really, a very thin boundary in life... and never know where she really is...behind us? before us? In my view, your alley clearly depicts this. Thought provoking image. Wonderful strong colors and light. Bravo, Jean!

Wonderful image! We are once more in the world of light and shadows, the curiosities of modern life and undisclosed secrets of traditional life. This piece of art done in well known poumarèdean style is, as always, full of atmosphere of expectation: what is going on? what is going to happen when we turn on the left? what we are going to face there? the state of being or nothingness? I like very much these Poumarède expressive artistic stories! And again, my vote is 5+++++++++++++++

When worlds collide ... I agree with Ana, but go one step more ... is she behind us or before us, OR are we the same? There is in a sense no difference, but there is all the difference in the world. Being a western woman, an American woman, of course I identify with one character over another. But if I could speak to the others, if language was no barrier, what would I learn? Same needs, same concerns? Only different circumstances. A fascinating work, my friend. Beautifully done!

As many have already mentioned, I also love your style of rendering. Aside from the vibrant colours of which I always enjoy, there is a lively energy as if this moment is very much happening now. Perhaps this is the fluid like effect of the two cultures mixing with each other in the scene. Maybe the 'western woman' on the left is imparting so impact on an environment that has endured for more than a thousand years. Or perhaps it is the other way around. Very well done and thoughtful work.

Beaucoup de travail dans cette belle image, tant dans les textures de pierre et de stuc que dans la composition elle-même et le rendu de la perspective qui semble fluctuer, sous l'arcade, lorsque le spectateur déplace le regard ; comme si le personnage se trouvait en un lieu où la réalité fluctue sans cesse...Vêtue aux couleurs du ciel et d'une terre de sable et de lumière, chaussée de ciel, elle arpente les ruelles sinueuses, entre soleil et ombre, précédée par deux mystérieuses silhouettes drapées de Yin et de Yang...La problématique de l'Etre et du Néant est peut-être le fruit d'une longue série de malentendus générés par le Manichéisme et dont la source première pourrait bien être ce concept de Yin/Yang, si mal compris en dehors de l'Extrême-Orient...Un travail puissant et qui questionne le spectateur, à l'instar de vos autres peintures...Bravo, mon ami !!

Excellent and so very beautiful,lovely colors**

Vraiment très impressionant j'aime vraiment beaucoup votre travail :) c'est incroyablement beau les détails sont magnifique je suis ébahie c'est le mot juste :) merci de tant de beautés :) Myria de Québec

Quelque chose me fascine dans tes tableaux, Jean, c'est le nombre de personnages que nous voyons de dos......parce que nous les suivons, nous aussi nous y allons , nous y allons tous....où ? une grande question à laquelle les religions et philosophies essayent de répondre...
