The Story Of The Lone Wolf And His Son
This painting, which I titled “The Lone Wolf And His Son,” Finds its origin in the creative minds and pens of writer Kazuo Koike (1936-2019) and illustrator Goseki Kojima (1928-2000). The Original Manga series Kozure Ōkami [子連れ狼] is translated as “Lone Wolf and Cub”.

Hubert Reeves
I first found interest in Hubert Reeves, when I started to watch one of his TV segments on the UQAM university channel Canal Savoir. It must be Star Teller, or "Initiation à l'Astronomie - Le Cosmos et l'Être Humain" , certainly a demystification class of science and astrophysics. His classes were more appealing and easier to grasp. He would feed your curiosity with the sublime story of the sky and the origin of the universe. This, he would do so in a more digestible way so e

BLACK & WHITE, SYMBOLS, CONNOTATIONS & SIGNIFICANCE
Black and White: Symbols, Connotations, and Significance [French] My curiosity is toward life, people, culture, stories, concepts, symbolism, and iconography. As of now, for most of my paintings, we can observe that they are made using what I call the Silver Screen painting style. The Silver Screen is what some would call Black and white. However, I do not make my paintings to be viewed that way. I want people to see beyond the two basic components of the paintings and look a

Snoh Aalegra - Toronto 2018
This painting of Snoh Aalegra is made using an Acrylic Silver Screen style on Birch Wood, the original size is 12x16 inches. The portrait was completed on December 15, 2015. If I have a clear memory of it, I first discovered Snoh Aalegra in 2015 through the Okay Players website. The first song I heard from her was Emotional produced by, none other than the legendary RZA from Wu-Tang Clan. Growing up in the '90s with hardcore sounds on heavy boom-bap drumming, this song is

Board Games, Chess, And The Xiangqi Story
XIANGQI I've been curious and fascinated by the strategic board games named Xiangqi as well as the Go game, both essentially fused with Chinese tradition. I never played any of these games but I'm looking forward to it. This is a depiction of three-man from China playing their traditional Chess outdoors during the winter. This game called Xiangqi predates the conception of China itself and was already embedded in the fabric of the region. In doing this painting, I wanted

Les Taïnos - The Taíno [Poem]
Pour faire revivre cette entité, d'hommes et de femmes disparus en terre d'Ayiti. Et si on veut restaurer l'équité comme il est convenu, on va retracer la vie d'Anacaona. Reine des Taïnos, cette femme guerrière, armée de sa hache de pierre. Face à la puissante armada espagnole. Sa plume déchiquetée par le viol; écrit sur son corps souillé par l'épée du carnage. Sa beauté et la couleur de sa peau. Son sexe, bien que fragilisé, porte le chant de l'hymne. Elle aussi livre son de

L'oiseau chante, Ma voix unie à la sienne. Tout doux, tout doux, Tes cheveux en nattes d'acajou. Me parais dans l'encabrure, Ton portrait en pleine nature; Que les vagues déferlent, Arrosent ce teint abstrait Qu'emporte le vent. Fille des îles, Tu étais celle qu'on chérissait. Ma soeur, ma bien-aimée. Quel mal inconnu, T'a ravi à ta destinée. ***English Translation*** The Bird is singing, My voice united with his. Very soft, very soft, Your hair, in mahogany braids. Ap

Islam, Tradition, Clothing and Dress Code.
Beyond the Fabric: Unpacking Islam, Clothing, and the Veil's Evolving Meanings. Clothes are synonymous with protection; they protect us from the cold, just as from great periods of heat. They cover and preserve modesty. On a spiritual level, the proper clothes protect us from evil. In a poetic sense, it is also said in the Qur'an that man and woman are a garment for one another. So you have to wear the best clothes. At the very beginning of Islam, the art of tailoring was not

Conceiving Fudo Myôô
Who or what is the Fudo Myôô? First things first, we must know that the Fudo Myôô finds his origin in the Hindu Deity Shiva. The similarities can be observed in the attributes and qualities that are associated with both. Furthermore, he truly draws his sources from the deities of the Brahmanical traditions in Hindu Tantrism and emerged in the fusion of the Indian culture occurring in China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. What is known as the Myôôs are a series of deities, coming
