Acrylic painting on wood panel of dimensions 24 x 24 x 1.5 inches. This painting is part of a triptych entitled "The Migrants". Each of the paintings recalls the unprecedented migratory phenomenon between North Africa and the European continent.
This painting evokes the first stage of the migratory process, namely the embarkation with the smugglers, in perilous conditions, a risky operation which seems the only possible choice for all these people.
This triptych won second Grand Prix in the “Figurative Frontier” category at the 32nd Gala International des Arts Visuels son et lumière, Montreal, Canada in 2016
