Christmas Market in Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans: my art stand

On 23 November 2025, I took part in the Christmas market in Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans. At my stand, I presented original paintings, illustrated cups, and festive works.

For me, this was not only a sales format, but also an open presentation of my work. Visitors could look at the works up close, ask questions, and get to know my art.

During the market, local residents and tourists stopped near the stand. People looked at the paintings, asked about the subjects, technique, and different formats of the works. This kind of live interaction is an important part of an artist's creative life.

For me, showing art to people and seeing that it is perceived attentively is truly important. Such feedback has special significance and is often more valuable than formal diplomas or memberships.
