Meeting a painter - day 1
First meeting with the painter Sébastien Aurillon at his home.
Drinking a cup of tea made by his last employer, Mariage Frères, where he was in charge of international sales, he tells me about his life and his projects.
After the first glance at his paintings, I am not completely touched by them. But as he talks about his feelings about painting and being an artist, I become more and more fascinated by the character. Ready to give up a quite easy Parisian existence, he leaves his company to be devoted entirely to his passion.
Between financial difficulties and doubts about his future, Sébastien does not completely seem to be flying high in the sky but really has his feet on the ground.
Discovering an artist, Paris, August 10th, 2004.
