Le Temps Sans Toi

Mayke forever, a celebration of memories and expressions

May 31, 2021 in ART

Mayke has departed after a long valiant battle. In this post I have sought to illustrate with photos of her times, the great, the good but mostly the expressions so typical of her being.

Mayke’s 2015 “Moi-je” Exhibition

August 24, 2015 in ART, Mayke's 2015 Exhibition

2015 is a “grand cru” of Mayke’s work, returning to some of her basics with that ability to meld the abstract with the figurative expressed with depth and texture.

🇫🇷 Après le tableau de Mayke “Widow Walk du Camp de la Suyère”, si prémonitoire des évènements du 7 mai, une résignation silencieuse envahie sa vision de Sean Seamour II qui repose au fond de la Fosse de Hatteras, un épitaphe et une immortalisation qui permet à notre créativité de rebondir et à une nouvelle aventure d'émerger

Mayke Sassen back to Saint Tropez

March 23, 2009 in ART, Postings from the Atelier

It will soon be three years since our transfer from the Luberon back to the Golfe de Saint Tropez, successful albeit with the loss of our Sean Seamour II in sub-tropical storm Andrea.

A mon propos

March 20, 2009 in ART

Je peins, mue par la passion de découvrir qui et où je suis.
Je vis un rêve : je suis sur scène délivrant une brillante performance.
A la chute, je remarque que le rideau est resté fermé.
Je souhaite l’ouvrir et partager
