DUSK ELIXIR

Night time is for the mad man, the curious and the trouble maker.
As my late grandfather used to say, devils come out at night.
But how could I resist?

Day time to me is boring, you work and nothing really happens. You are on autopilot and that’s about it…
When night comes, then you can feel a raise of energy and adrenaline, a sense of dangerousness, a strong will for adventures.
Often, I like to go out for a walk in the middle of the night. This is when you feel the raw energy of the city, it’s dark, anything can happen. The city is magnified with all the lights. The Parisian architecture looks its best at night. The hustle and bustle feels silent, I hear the void and it feels infinite.

It all looks fake but it can’t be more real. The fancy and shiny outfits are welcome. This is when true characters are unleashed. They can be charming or they can be cold, mean, and violent sometimes. Some other times you might meet people playing a character or the persona they wish they could be in real life. Or maybe, they tame their real character, playing a role during day time and they show their real face at night.
To me this is life with no filter. A mix of lost souls and broken hearts where the infamous, the nasty and the dirty meets the glitz, the glamour and the famous. A beautiful circus where everything and everyone die at dawn.

These few hours where nothing is predictable is the only moment I believe anything can happen for the best or for the worst. If something incredible is to happen it will definitely be at night.
It’s exciting, it’s full of tension and if the stars are aligned you can be whoever you want to be for a night. And that one night will change your life forever.

That moving silhouette in the dark, sexy and mysterious… When the unknown gets so appealing and you can’t resist to take the risk. You have nothing to lose. Your sins are covered by the night. Who knows? She can be your lover for life as long as the night is not over. The rules of the day have disappeared, it’s all basic instincts now and it makes me feel the most alive!
Elixir of the celestial stars, whispers from the void, eternal golden hour, I’m in an abyss of infinities. I am writing these lines from an uncontrollable hand. My brain gets activated after dark.
I draw my collections during the night, I read books during the night… This is a place that is out of time. There is no interference. I think better, I feel better. Everything gets deep and intense. Street lamps or the moonlight, candles flames dancing to the beats of the night. Twist of fate, my imagination is freed to explore, moving and grooving on the soundtrack of the dusk. The music sets the tone and the unknown opens its doors. I know how it starts but I never know how it ends. It’s like sitting with a gypsy story teller. I’m fascinated. The mystic keeps me up all night. I’m enjoying the ride like a little boy in a fantasy world.

When the sun rises from the limbo, I am left with some magic dust on my electric world. I am on the edge between reality and fantasy. Where is the gypsy? Where is the lady?

The night is over, it’s time for me to sleep. Good morning!
