Illuminated by my disciple Jean-Yves Pelletier
Jean-Yves's legacy and recognition are evident in his repeated inclusion in international exhibitions and collaborations with prestigious institutions
such as the Musée Taishan and the Youth Innovation Center in China, underscoring his global influence in promoting Chinese calligraphy
My disciple Jean-Yves was always there, ready to accompany me and offer support in many ways —
whether it was editing, designing the website, or creating art booklets and posters.
The journeys became far more joyful and interesting with his company. We also took the opportunity to visit many local tourist attractions,
which undoubtedly provided me with plenty of inspiration and ideas for my art.
