When you live in Canada you are privileged by all the landscape. The mountains, the sea, the vast space, and forests with endless trees. When I moved to London in the Summer of 1998 to be with my wife. The shock of moving to a new country filtrated into my studio... so a few months after arriving in this city I started a series of painting about the London Underground tube map.
It is very textured, and the consists of many layers of oil paint. I worked on it for two months now it is proudly hung in Moulay Rachid's palace in Morocco.
