  LAST PRODUCTION

JAZZ IN BLUES, 2010, 2016

"  Jazz in blues " It is a series of paintings dedicated to all women around the world. Their professional interests and tasks of daily life. Images full of sophistication, simplicity,and  relaxing moments. They bond to music in their natural environment. It is a picture of
a short posing movement. The sweetness, magical colors,  and peace round this paradox dominate  these paintings. Grullon, Jazz in blues Opening, DR, 2010
