Once upon a time, the children sitting on the golden porch... Oil on canvas , 110 x 100 cm (43.3 x 39.4 inches). 1991. Private collection.

Summer. The sun shines down on the first steps of the porch and its carved wooden column, its sculpted banister . A little swarm of children, sitting on the stair, say a nursery rhyme: ‘On the golden porch they were sitting, Tsar, Tsarevitch, Prince Ivan, the King. You, who will you be?’ My wish was to transmit the slightest vibrations of colours , the golden sparkle of the wooden stairs, the childish figures that merge in a nacreous sparkling painting .
