The private collection is a manifesto that synthesizes an era and the life journey of the person who created it. A garden of maturity cultivated in secret, it composes here a universe of works chosen from the history of the arts of humanity from Antiquity to the present day, where African sculpture brilliantly asserts a prominent place through a series of masterpieces. A selection of sixty eclectic references illustrates the choices of an atypical humanist, curious about others, delivering an original and personal definition of the collection. Objects of dreams and emotion, viewed with respect and admiration, mark this path that recalls the need to share the universality of this heritage.
